Many scientists came to a mutual decision on the feasibility of introducing into the current Constitution of the Russian Federation a separate chapter devoted to organizing and holding a referendum and elections as direct forms of direct will of citizens, because it is the multinational people of our immense Motherland that acts as a carrier of sovereignty and the only source of power. The institution of the electoral system deserves a specific approach to the study and constitutional consolidation of the fundamental tenets of the electoral law (universal suffrage, secret ballot, freedom of election, and free participation of voters in them). In addition, the article notes the importance of improving the latest legislation on political parties, given the fact that they are one of the priority subjects of the electoral process.
