Abstract
The article examines the main subjective and objective causes of absenteeism at the local level. The author emphasizes that the local level of public power is the most accessible, understandable and close to the majority of the population. And it is on this basis that the use of institutions of direct democracy allows us to overcome the alienation of citizens from power. Based on the analysis of current trends in the legal regulation of the electoral process, namely, legislation on the formation of local self-government bodies, the author comes to the conclusion that these regulations contradict the goals of local self-government, one of which is to bring the local government closer to the population. The question is raised about the relationship of turnout indicators to legitimacy. The paper examines the specific reasons for citizens ' reluctance to participate in elections and considers possible ways to overcome them. Much attention is paid to the need to introduce innovative voting technologies.
