The development of a comprehensive and universal theory of electoral law and the law of referendums remains an elusive goal in legal science. Despite the widespread importance of elections and referendums as mechanisms for democratic governance and the expression of popular sovereignty, there is no consensus on the fundamental principles or norms that should guide their design and operation.

Current electoral systems vary significantly across countries and even within nations, ranging from first-past-the-post to proportional representation, from closed to open party lists, and from mandatory to voluntary voting. Similarly, there is no uniform approach to the design and conduct of referendums, with differences in the threshold requirements for passage, the types of issues that can be decided, and the level of voter participation.

The absence of a comprehensive and universal theory of electoral law and the law of referendums poses a significant challenge for policymakers, scholars, and citizens alike. In order to address this gap in knowledge, a scientific project has been launched with the goal of developing a comprehensive and universal theory of electoral law and the law of referendums.

The project will seek to identify the fundamental principles and norms that should guide the design and operation of electoral systems and referendums, drawing on a wide range of theoretical and empirical sources. It will also aim to provide practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners based on these principles, with a focus on enhancing the effectiveness and legitimacy of democratic governance.

The development of a universal theory of electoral law and the law of referendums has significant implications for the future of democratic governance. It has the potential to enhance the transparency, accountability, and legitimacy of electoral systems and referendums, thereby strengthening the democratic process and ensuring that the voice of the people is heard. This project is an important step towards this goal, and its findings will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, and citizens around the world.

The Central Election Commission of Russia was conceived as a temporary body during the constitutional crisis of 1993 and it is necessary to replace it with a more modern, advanced, and completely independent state body in the form of an Electoral Justice (Electoral Court). The purpose of the project is to develop several models of Electoral Justice for Russia in the name of democracy.
The Central Election Commission of Russia was established in 1993 as a temporary body during the constitutional crisis that led to the adoption of a new constitution. However, the CEC has remained in operation ever since, and its powers have expanded to include overseeing not only federal but also regional and local elections.
Despite its expanded mandate, the CEC has been criticized for being insufficiently independent, and for its lack of transparency and accountability. It has been accused of being under the control of the ruling party and of being susceptible to political pressure.
As such, there have been calls to replace the CEC with a more modern and independent body that is better equipped to ensure free and fair elections. One proposed solution is the establishment of an Electoral Justice, or Electoral Court, which would be a fully independent state body with the power to oversee all aspects of the electoral process.
The purpose of this project is to develop several models of Electoral Justice that would be suitable for implementation in Russia. These models would be designed to ensure that the electoral process is transparent, accountable, and free from political influence. By developing these models, the hope is that Russia can move closer to achieving truly democratic elections, and that the voice of the people can be heard through the ballot box.

The main idea of the project is to organize online betting on the outcomes of political events with the aim of generating profits. Betting is most commonly associated with sports competitions or horse racing, but avid gamblers have always sought to place bets on the outcomes of political events.

Studies have shown that even during World War II, people placed bets on the outcome of the war or whether Germany would take over Britain. The demand for political betting is currently high and continues to grow as instability increases. However, existing online casinos attempting to enter the political betting market have not made significant progress due to a lack of necessary knowledge and experts who could generate predictive content. Research shows that there are over 220 countries in the world, with over 110 being electoral democracies that regularly hold national elections for the presidency and parliament. This provides a flow of opportunities for betting with a frequency of once every two weeks. Adding regional elections, such as in countries like the United States, Germany, Brazil, etc., would increase the frequency of opportunities to bet to more than once a week. An increase in bets on "hot conflicts" would further increase the popularity and level of bets, as people will always want to place bets on whether "China will take over Taiwan" or "Will the United States strike North Korea?"
