Comprehensive processes of digital change in socio-economic reality actualized and concentrated the attention of decision makers and scientists on the adaptation of administrative systems to new challenges. The state program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation†contains a number of design areas for the digital transformation of the Russian public administration system. The system of election commissions of Russia was actively included in this program and formed a set of project initiatives that are designed to significantly change the appearance and content of the entire electoral system and the electoral process. It is obvious that the rapid nature of the ongoing external (global) and internal changes and challenges required flexible response methods. The project management methodology, according to the authors, is adequate to modern reality and is optimal when implementing initiatives aimed at information development. In the article, the authors examine in detail digital projects and digital services of the Russian electoral system, as well as form a series of proposals aimed at further improving project initiatives. The authors believe that from a scientific and applied point of view, the stake on the project approach in the implementation of digital projects is justified, especially in the context of a constant change in the strategic priorities of socio-economic development.
