Based on the analysis, proposals have been formulated for the further development of digital technologies in the electoral system of the region, aimed at increasing its effectiveness, transparency and legitimacy. The authors conclude that a systematic approach is needed to realize the potential of digitalization of the electoral process and strengthen democratic institutions in the Don region.
