Palabras clave: apoyo legal, elecciones, legislación electoral, sistema electoral, proceso electoral

Resumen

El objetivo del artículo fue discutir ideas conceptuales sobre el estado del soporte legal del proceso electoral en Dinamarca, Nueva Zelanda y los Estados Unidos, así como identificar oportunidades para utilizar la experiencia positiva de estos países en Ucrania. El artículo utiliza métodos tales como el dialéctico, derecho comparado, sistema-estructural, formal-dogmático, modelado y pronóstico. Cabe señalar que, a pesar de la capacidad de los países de la UE para introducir su propia legislación electoral y elegir el sistema electoral, el ejercicio del derecho de toda persona a votar o ser elegido está garantizado mediante el cumplimiento de las normas internacionales de organización y celebración de elecciones. Se concluye que los países estudiados: Dinamarca, Nueva Zelanda y los Estados Unidos generalmente se adhieren al estado de derecho y el proceso electoral está bien organizado. Se afirma que el debido sustento legal del proceso electoral es una herramienta para la formación de legítimos órganos representativos del poder estatal y de autogobierno local. Además, se propone implementar en la legislación electoral de Ucrania la experiencia positiva de algunos países, así como identificar posibles formas de mejorarla.
