Abstract
The article presents the results of the comparative study of digital content distributed in the Russian segment of social media, aimed at legitimising and delegitimising the e-voting system among the national Internet audience. The research method is the cognitive mapping of digital documents representing the topic of the e-voting system in social media during the period of the main election campaigns from 2022 to 2024. The results of the study show that there are significant differences in the content and structure of the studied content groups. The criteria for content differentiation include not only the objects and reasons for building trust or distrust in online voting, but also changes in the practice of their use during different periods of the election campaign. One of the possible explanations for the observed differences is the fundamental difference in the sources of the thematic documents, including along the «internal–external» line.
