Keywords:
cloning technology, elections, clone candidates, manipulations, election campaignAbstract
The article analyses the features of the usage of cloning technology in the electoral practice of modern Ukraine. The authors have considered clone candidates during the elections as a subspecies of technical candidates. The author’s typology of clone candidates that can be used in election campaigns has been proposed. Based on the analysis of the 2019 parliamentary election campaign in Ukraine, the peculiarities of the participation of clone candidates in the election race have been demonstrated. The authors have concluded that the cloning technology during elections is not illegal phenomenon, but violates moral and ethical principles, as it involves manipulation and may ultimately lead to significant distortion of the results of the will of voters. Researchers emphasize that the main condition for neutralizing the impact of cloning technology on the course and results of elections is the presence of a high level of electoral culture of voters.
