The article summarizes and systematizes the knowledge previously accumulated by Russian and foreign researchers and experts, as well as to fills the gap that exists today, which consists in the absence of an integrated approach to the analysis of online voting in Russia, including both issues of regulatory framework and the application of technological solutions to ensure the effective and secure operation of the remote electronic voting system. The article presents a similar chronological political and legal analysis of online voting in Russia and identifies the main risks and threats associated with digitization and internetization of the electoral process for citizens and the state, as well as current technological solutions that allow to level them. The author concludes that there is a need for further modernization of the Russian legislative framework for e-voting. Therefore, an integrated and systematic approach to the development of online voting, combined with the willingness of public authorities to respond promptly to changes and overcome the associated risks and threats, involving the scientific and expert community to solve these problems, is extremely important. The research results can be used by public authorities and decision-makers, responsible for the development of online voting in Russia, in order to further improve its technical and legislative bases, as well as by the scientific community and citizens who want to expand their knowledge of remote electronic voting technology and the laws governing it.
