The article analyzes the transformation of the electoral process in the context of digitalization, examines both the positive and negative consequences of the introduction of technology into electoral practices. The aim of the work is to systematize knowledge about the impact of technological innovations on the electoral process and to develop recommendations for improving the state technological policy. The main methods used in the study include a comparative political science approach, content analysis, and discourse analysis, which allows for a comprehensive assessment of the risks and challenges associated with the digitalization of elections. The author explores key aspects such as the legitimization of power, public confidence in election results, and the impact of digital technologies on political regimes. An analysis of existing approaches demonstrates that digitalization can both increase efficiency and create threats of manipulation and undermining democratic principles. The results of the study show that for the successful implementation of digital policy, it is necessary to take into account the opinion of civil society, develop verification and control mechanisms, and establish clear regulatory frameworks. The practical significance of the study consists in recommendations aimed at creating a safe and inclusive electoral system, which is possible only with a competent combination of technological innovations and ensuring democratic values.
