Legal constructions of the “act which influenced the results of the voting of electors in an electoral precinct or district” and the “act causing inability to establish the will of the electors in a electoral precinct or in elections (referendum)” as a specific features of the Ukrainian criminal law Abstract: The novel criminal legislation of Ukraine provides for criminal responsibility for the crimes against e lection a nd r eferendum r ights o f p eople, a nd i t w as o ften a mended d ue t o v arious s ocial, political and legal reasons. However, its characteristic feature compared to other post-Soviet states was and still is use of the legal constructions of “act which influenced the results of the voting of electors in an electoral precinct or district” and the “act causing inability to establish the will of the electors in a electoral precinct or in elections (referendum)”. However, the amount of attention to these constructions in the science of Ukrainian criminal law is not sufficient. Their subject-structure analysis allows to consider both of these constructions stillborn and unviable. The reason for it lays in contradictions between the provisions of criminal and election (referendum) law of Ukraine, which traditionally fall outside the scope of attention of the legal scholars specializing in criminal law. Keywords: elections, referendum, results of the election, election precinct, voting, criminal responsibility, legal construction, crime, elector register, election rights.
