Introduction. Elections are the most important indicator of the socio-political development of the state, the criterion of the country’s democratic regime and its strategic course. Elections are one of the most mass processes, which is not limited to voting, it is a wide set of social relations that begins long before the appointment of elections and does not end with the fact that citizens vote. The introduction of multi-day voting introduced a large number of organizational features, the implementation of which affects the assessment of the election campaign as a whole. Theoretical analysis. The organizational features of multi-day voting include: the implementation of various forms of voting and the possibility of alternating them on one election day, ensuring the safety of ballots, video surveillance and video recording, features of counting votes, etc. All these electoral actions and procedures require the implementation of mandatory rules and are subject to the mechanism for implementing the fundamental principles of objective electoral law, which are based on the principles of objectivity, fairness and openness. Empirical analysis. The content of the organizational mechanism for conducting voting over several days is associated with the implementation of the rules for the use of stationary and portable boxes, ballot processing complexes, drawing up a list of voters, a register for voting outside the polling station, the implementation of an additional form of voting, moving ballots into safe packages, sequence of counting the votes of voters and determining the results of voting. The question arises: Can inaccuracies in the implementation of these features aff ect the voting results in a particular precinct? Results. The analysis of the content of the Federal Law “On the Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights and the Right to Participate in a Referendum of Citizens of the Russian Federation” indicates the legal consolidation of the grounds for recognizing both voting and elections as invalid. Among such grounds, there are cases when violations committed during the conduct of voting or the establishment of voting results do not allow to reliably determine the results of the expression of the will of voters. However, the law does not specify which violations can be recognized as such. Practice shows that violations of one degree or another occur during the conduct of any elections and in any countries. Absolutely “pure” elections do not exist, since elections are a political struggle. Consolidation of actions, that aff ect or do not aff ect the expression of the will of voters, at the level of law will help reduce the number of provocative complaints that have little reason and contribute to the destabilization of the situation while organizing and conducting elections.

Introduction. Since 2007, the legislation of the Russian Federation has been witnessing active development of the regulatory framework for regulation in the sphere of demographic and family policy, mainly by acts of a conceptual and strategic nature. The adoption of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020 significantly increased the growth of regulatory documents in this area in order to prevent the risk of loss and destruction of traditional family values. Theoretical analysis. The author highlights that active work in all areas in the development of the institution of traditional family values should be carried out, including information and propaganda measures. At the same time, propaganda and its types are widely reflected in regulations, which indicates the initial stage of institutionalization. Result. The division of the propaganda of traditional values according to the priorities of their impact made it possible to single out such functions as stimulating, preventive, modeling ones. The author emphasizes the importance of the transition of such propaganda to the legal field, predetermination of the rule of law, dependence of its effectiveness in the fight against anti-family ideology, change in socio-cultural stereotypes of behavior, and decline of family values on this process. The analysis of models for fixing the propaganda of traditional family values in Russian legislation was carried out. The researcher concluded that in the normative acts of various levels, the legislator more often builds the propaganda of family values alongside other positive propaganda of socially useful behavior, spiritual, moral and patriotic education, promotion of a healthy lifestyle, as the basic elements of life.
