The safety in Europe, and, more then it, in the whole worldwas lost. But this unstability may be considered as a natural evolutionary process. If we accept that the next step of the state evolutionis a formation of net-centric state, then the Ukraine crisis is not something unusual. This is the same process of states dissipation asin any other part of the world.

This is due to the fact that the legal regulation of the electoral process in America is attributed to the powers of the states or municipalities, depending on the legal doctrine applied by the state – Cooley Doctrine or Dillon Rule, which objectively imposes a limit on its study and generalization. The purpose of the study is to acquaint a wide range of scientific community with the latest research in the field of the US election law in regard to the first in the domestic law full description of the organizers of elections and referendums at the state and municipal levels in the United States. The author reviews a wide range of regional and local legislation with references to the constitutional, legal and regulatory acts of the US States.

modern independent democratic state. The main guarantees provided by a democratic State are control over the correctness of holding
referendums and elections, as well as the ability to resolve electoral disputes and protect the right to vote.
In the article, the author analyzes the features of electoral justice in the Republic of Paraguay and concludes that in the Republic of
Paraguay, on the one hand, there is a coherent system of electoral justice, clothed in the appropriate legal framework. However, when
analyzing the legislative provisions designed to ensure the effectiveness of electoral justice, it becomes clear that in reality the legal norms
regulating electoral justice in Paraguay are ambiguous and contradictory, and this is manifested in the inconsistency of certain legislative
norms that fix the legal framework of electoral justice with constitutional provisions, and in the presence of legislative gaps that lead to
legal uncertainty regarding the application and different interpretations of such provisions. In addition, the mechanism established in the
Republic of Paraguay for resolving complaints and appeals does not provide for timely and effective legal protection. Meanwhile, the
institution of electoral justice itself objectively shows its effectiveness and is recommended for implementation in the Russian Federation
in the form of an autonomous system of electoral courts, including the Federal Electoral Court, Electoral Courts of the constituent entities
of the Federation, Municipal Electoral Courts and Electoral judges corps of polling stations.

The author concludes that the phenomenon's theoretical aspects have yet to be studied from both positive and natural law standpoints. However, the theoretical aspect of a working group's practices regarding the receipt and processing of electoral documents is subject to the applied aspect and is intended to supply the electoral process with necessary tools. This, in turn, creates problems for the applied aspects of elections in the country, which are particularly relevant considering the empirical material of the 2020 election campaign. Further issues arise when it comes to providing a proper decision-making mechanism to an electoral commission as well as to making sure that citizens are able to practice their passive suffrage. That said, the first of the outlined issues mediates the second, since when there is failure in providing the proper decision-making mechanism to an electoral commission, the validity of its decisions becomes questionable.
