https://doi.org/10.18384/2224-0209-2022-4-1208
Abstract
Aim. To develop various approaches to the identification and critical understanding of the electronic voting as a new mechanism of political activity.
Methodology. The research is based on general scientific methods, such as comparative method of extrapolation and forecasting. In addition, we use systemic approach and method of participant observation.
Results. In our research work, we have introduced our own electronic voting model as a communication network that links the state and society. Its goal is to escalate people’s conventional political activity with the help of close control over the constituency.
Research implications. The results of our work contribute to the development of theories touching upon the problems of information-oriented society and political communication.
