Transition to Digital Electoral Technologies

The first decades of the XXI century were marked by the active development of information and communication technologies, including in electoral and political spheres. The COVID-19 pandemic has given a powerful additional impetus to these processes. The practice has become ahead of regulation, both nationally and internationally. The lack of unified legal enactments regulating the digitalization of socially significant procedures (primarily in the electoral sphere) is a constraining factor in the development of political processes of a new reality. The author is sure that it is necessary to unite the efforts of legislators, relevant public and international organizations to develop improved rules for political life of society in the digital environment, where the balance of guaranteed rights and freedoms of citizens will be maintained, on the one hand, and a high level of security, reliability and efficiency of new technologies, on the other hand.
