The purpose of the article was to identify and reveal the main contemporary modern legislative initiatives aimed at ensuring the expression of will by means of information technology. The main methodological tools applied in the study were comparative legal analysis and observational method. The study showed that effective manifestation of will requires further implementation of state-of-the-art systems of electronic petitions, digital resources and electronic voting. Relevant legislative initiatives should serve to increase the capacity for citizen participation and discussion. It is substantiated that the priority directions of changes in legal systems should be: 1) reforms aimed at closing the digital divide in access to information technologies; 2) technical improvement of the electronic voting procedure; 3) increasing the relevant informatization of citizens; 4) ensuring maximum protection of the state digital environment. Special attention should be paid to the legal development of a comprehensive technocratic approach. It is concluded that it is desirable to apply hybrid technology for the people to realize their right to vote and give them more opportunities to participate in the processes of governance and digital governance.
