I hate the idea of suspending elections, but I’m not sure what alternatives there are.
Maybe a special term limit which expires at the time the normal one or at the end of the war, whichever is soonest? Franchise would be given to everyone within Ukrainian controlled land and to citizens abroad who do not reside in territory the enemy controls?
Maybe suspend the election a year or two, with a commitment to the above strategy at the end of that suspension?
