The Cabinet of Ministers proposes to the Verkhovna Rada to keep the financing of the Central Election Commission (CEC) at the level of UAH 275 million in the draft state budget for 2025 compared to the current year.

This is stated in the bill 12000 registered in the parliament on September 14, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

In the project of the state budget-2025, UAH 275 million are provided for leadership and management in the field of holding elections and referendums.

The draft budget does not provide for expenses for holding elections.

It is proposed to oblige the Cabinet of Ministers together with the CEC, after the termination or cancellation of martial law in Ukraine, to submit to the Verkhovna Rada for consideration proposals regarding amendments to the State Budget of Ukraine in terms of forecasting expenses for the preparation and holding of regular elections of the President of Ukraine, MPs of Ukraine, and local elections.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the Cabinet of Ministers submitted the draft state budget for 2025 to the Verkhovna Rada for approval.

Revenues of the state budget for the next year are expected in the amount of UAH 2,336.276 billion, expenditures - UAH 3,938.196 billion.

The marginal volume of the deficit is UAH 1,640.630 billion, or 19.4% of GDP.
