Snap presidential elections were held in Ukraine on 25 May 2014 and resulted in Petro Poroshenko being elected President of Ukraine.[1] Originally scheduled to take place on 29 March 2015, the date was changed following the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.[2][3] Poroshenko won the elections with 55% of the vote, enough to win in a single round.[4][5] His closest competitor, Yulia Tymoshenko, emerged with 13% of the vote.[4] The Central Election Commission reported voter turnout over 60%, excluding the regions not under government control.[6][7] Since Poroshenko obtained an absolute majority in the first round, a run-off second ballot (on 15 June 2014[8]) was unnecessary.[1][9]

The election was not held everywhere in Ukraine. During the 2014 Crimean crisis, Ukraine lost control over Crimea, which was unilaterally annexed by Russia in March 2014.[10][11][a] As a result, elections were not held in Crimea.[1] Of the 2,430 planned ballot stations (in Donbas), only 426 remained open for polling.[13] The self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic, controlling large parts of Donbas, had vowed to do everything possible to disrupt the elections on their territory.[14]

Petro Poroshenko won the presidency and served a full presidential term until 2019, losing to Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
