A Ukrainian man who legally changed his name to Darth Vader and is running for a seat in the country’s parliament was turned away from a Kiev polling station Sunday for refusing to take off his mask to be identified.

Clad in full Star Wars regalia and arriving to the famous Imperial March, Ukrainian Internet Party candidate ‘Darth Alekseyevich Vader’ attempted to cast his vote for the nation’s early parliamentary elections at a polling station in Kiev, Sunday. After refusing to take of his helmet and show his face, Vader was rejected from casting his vote by election officials. Vader, formally known as Viktor Shevchenko, hopes to bring voters to the “dark side” in the Ukrainian parliamentary elections, and has promised to turn Ukraine into a “galactic empire.”
