Summary/Abstract: Elections are one of the main forms of democracy in the country - the expression of the will of the people, the constitutional way of forming public authorities and local governments. As the basic principle of democratic governance is to create appropriate conditions for the will of citizens and ensure adequate representation of their interests, in many countries the development of electoral technologies is underway to introduce new ways to increase accessibility, efficiency and comfort of the voting process. voting with remote access. // Introduction of new voting technologies into the election process is a consequence of technological development. The use of these technologies must comply with the principles of democratic elections, without raising public doubts about the reliability of the voting results. That is why the issue of implementing electronic voting in democracies has been accompanied by broad professional and public discussions for many years. On the one hand, remote electronic voting (hereinafter - DEG) is a conscious future, and on the other - a source of new challenges and potential risks. At the same time, as democracies continue to discuss and carefully accumulate experience in the application of DEG, authoritarian regimes (such as the Russian Federation) can use new technologies to address the preservation of their political system.
