Аннотация: In democratic countries, attention is devoted to the issue of freedom of speech and freedom of expression and the role of public authorities during elections. Today, freedom of speech and freedom of expression are guaranteed at both the international and national levels. The international community has created a significant number of international agreements and acts of "soft law" on standards of freedom of expression. In particular, the Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters establishes as the first general condition for democratic elections the respect for fundamental human rights, and particularly freedom of expression, assembly and association, without which there can be no true democracy. On the one hand, the problem of ensuring freedom of expression during elections is caused by the wider limits of permissible criticism of candidates and the importance of coverage of the election process. On the other hand, it is caused by restrictions on the conduct of election campaigning and the necessity to provide equal access to the media for the subjects of the electoral process. In this context, it is important to find a balance between the right to free elections, freedom of speech and other rights, freedoms and interests of the subjects of the electoral process. This article researches the modern problems of national legal guarantee of the freedom of speech and the freedom of expression and international electoral standards on the protection of freedom of speech and freedom of expression in the electoral process.

Аннотация: The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the exercise of citizens’ suffrage as one of the main principles of the electoral process in Ukraine and foreign countries. The essence of the exercise of citizens’ suffrage is revealed both in its general meaning and in the context of differentiation of suffrage into active and passive. The historical aspects of enshrining suffrage in current international legal instruments are highlighted. The legal bases for the exercise of citizens’ suffrage in some foreign countries, in particular Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Ireland, have been determined. The content of the relevant norms of the current Ukrainian legislation is highlighted, which determine the basic principles of exercise of suffrage by citizens of Ukraine. The basic requirements of the electoral legislation of most European countries for the implementation of both active and passive suffrage are identified, which include: (1) reaching the appropriate age (age qualification), which is determined by constitutional norms, the Electoral Code or a special election law; (2) citizenship of the respective country; (3) full legal capacity of the person. Particular attention is paid to determining the grounds for deprivation of citizens’ suffrage, indicating the impossibility of their implementation.
