Original Note:
While under martial law, the Ukrainian constitution does not permit elections to take place. https://www.refworld.org/pdfid/44a280124.pdf During WWII the UK suspended elections for five years not ten. After the 1935 election, the next one was scheduled for 1940. Due to the war, this was suspended until 1945. https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/transformingsociety/private-lives/yourcountry/collections/collections-second-world-war/second-world-war-legislation/emergency-powers-defence-act-c20-1940-/
