Improving electoral practices in times of global crises

The article assesses the risks for the effective functioning of the electoral system that may arise in the context of global crises. The author concludes that a decline in electoral activity may be a consequence of large-scale crisis phenomena (for example, the COVID-19 pandemic). In these conditions, modern information and communication tools and political technologies that can ensure the mobilization of voters are in particular demand. Accordingly, in the near future, remote forms of political participation have all chances to become a real alternative to traditional practices.
