metadata.value: The paper examines the Russian experience of introducing remote electronic voting into the
  electoral process. By referring to the experience of other countries, we highlight the positive
  and negative aspects of remote electronic voting. The interest of states therein is due to the
  capability of combating the electorate absenteeism at polling stations for voting. Along with
  that, the results of surveying Russians on the use of remote electronic voting in elections show
  that some voters do not trust the outcomes of such voting for fear of fraud. We accumulated
  preferential provisions that constitute the interest of states in remote electronic voting. Blockchain
  technologies used in electronic voting are diverse and affect the public’s attitude to the
  voting results in different ways, many electoral process participants do not understand the
  technical component of the electronic program. Russia uses a closed blockchain, therefore
  only the electoral process participants having a special key can view the data. It turned out that
  blockchain-based voting does not solve fundamental security problems, but on the contrary
  is technically more vulnerable than traditional paper ballot voting or postal voting. In Russia,
  legal regulation relates more to the technical aspects of organizing and implementing remote
  electronic voting in elections, but does not solve all the problems, leaving many gaps for the
  guarantees of citizens’ electoral rights. Currently, the optimal model will be the combination
  of both traditional (paper ballot) and remote voting forms in order to reduce the risks of the
  latter, i. e. to apply a hybrid voting format in elections. Russian electoral legislation needs to be
  adapted to the hybrid format of elections with a paper ballot and an electronic ballot, providing
  voting rights of citizens and remote electronic voting.
