In brief

Ukraine’s election commission says some voter-register services could become accessible through Diia in the context of postwar elections. The possible integration would not include smartphone voting.

Ukraine could integrate some State Voter Register services with the Diia digital government portal, Central Election Commission deputy chair Serhiy Dubovyk said at a forum organised by the civic network OPORA, according to RBC-Ukraine. The outlet identified itself as an information partner of the event, which addressed the voter register’s role in the legitimacy of postwar elections.

Dubovyk said citizens could access individual register services through a familiar digital platform. He compared the arrangement to Pension Fund services available through Diia, with the portal acting as an intermediary rather than replacing the institution’s information system.

He stressed that the proposal did not involve holding elections by smartphone. RBC-Ukraine reported that the commission does not plan to transfer the voter register to the Ministry of Digital Transformation and instead advocates connecting the institutions’ information systems.

Dubovyk said the ideas had been discussed before the full-scale war, but disagreements had emerged over the form of cooperation. RBC-Ukraine did not specify which services might be integrated or give a timetable for implementation.
