Abstract

In modern conditions of postmodern development of states, there is close attention not only from the scientific community, but also from political actors to classical institutions of direct democracy, including the institution of voter orders as a form of implementing the imperative mandate of a deputy. It is the instructions of voters that ensure transparency in the interaction between voters and the deputy corps, which ultimately increases confidence in the latter and demonstrates its effectiveness. The subject of the study is the legal provision of the institution of voter orders as a form of implementing the imperative mandate of a deputy. The scientific novelty of the research lies in a comprehensive comparative legal and practice-oriented analysis of the institution of voter orders, which makes it possible to assess the prospects for reforming this area as a matter of priority. The achievement of the research goal became possible through the use of a number of methods, including philosophical, general scientific and special legal methods. Thus, the dialectical method made it possible to trace the genesis of the subject of research in its interrelation and interdependence with other phenomena of the statelegal order, to determine the prospect of its further reform. With the help of general scientific methods, it was possible to achieve unity of research mindset. The formal legal method allowed us to formulate proposals for the transformation of current Russian legislation in this area. The systemic problems of the institution of voter orders, due to the fragmentation of legal regulation, are proposed to be eliminated by modernizing this area, namely, the adoption of the federal law on voter orders, which defines their legal nature, the procedure for registration, accounting and mandatory execution. A practice-oriented approach to voter punishment involves: analyzing the prerequisites for reforming legislation in this area (determining the substantive aspects of the institution of voter punishment, assessing the possibilities of their implementation and compliance with modern realities) and identifying areas for legislative modernization with the creation of a draft law regulating the institution of voter punishment.
