Role of elections, electoral rights and disputes of citizens in realizing the concept of people power in Ukraine.
Journal Title: Актуальні проблеми держави і права - Year 2018, Vol 81, Issue
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the role of citizens in elections, electoral rights and electoral disputes in the implementation of the concept of direct democracy in Ukraine. The author shows that the people are the bearer of sovereignty and the only source of power in Ukraine. It has been shown that, despite the progress made by many countries in building democratic institutions and protecting human rights, the state of democracy in some regions of the world is still fragile and their institutions are too weak to ensure effective governance. The author argues that, in order to ensure free elections as the main indicator of the existence of democracy in Ukraine, it is first of all worth moving away from the positivist (formal) approach when applying electoral legislation and other election process regulators. Any difference in understanding of the procedure should be interpreted in the way of the protection of electoral rights and their implementation. The internal nature of electoral law should be the same.
