The article analyzes the constitutional and legal status of observers in Russian electoral law. The normative foundations, rights, and obligations of observers are considered. Systemic problems of implementing their status in the context of digitalization of elections, as well as in the field of international observation, are identified. Ways to improve legislation are proposed: control of the DAG software code, strengthening of out-of-station voting procedures, round-the-clock video surveillance during multi-day voting, development of cooperation within BRICS and the CIS.
