Abstract

This paper dwells on the potential of information technology to ensure the mechanisms of direct democracy. The authors defend the thesis that modern information technologies provide all the necessary tools and the “building blocks” for direct participation of citizens in state affairs management. The authors analyze the strengths and weaknesses of direct democracy, considering the advantages of direct democracy forms to the representative one in today’s society. The prospects and the possibility of implementation of the relevant institutions in the Russian Federation in accordance to Russian legislation are evaluated. The authors conclude that objectively there is a need for some institutions of direct participation of citizens in state affairs management (in particular, e-referendum) and offer to start working on introduction of relevant amendments to the legislation.
