description E-voting is considered to mean the further enhancement and strengthening of democratic processes in the information of modern societies. Electronic voting must first comply with the existing legal and regulatory framework. In addition, e-voting should be technically implemented in a way that specifies the requirements and regulations to reach the maximum number of users. As a result, the purpose of this article is twofold. In the first place (first), to identify the set of general requirements of the Constitution that must be considered when designing an electronic voting system for general elections. This set of requirements will lead to the acceptable design of the specific principles of a law for the electronic voting system. In the second stage (second), by identifying the process of logical integration, the requirements of the electronic voting system are determined. These requirements are the result of design principles that have already been identified. This research seeks to find the answer to the question whether the electronic voting scheme can meet the legal requirements as established in modern information societies. In addition, what differences can be made between different types of electronic voting system requirements? The results using the descriptive-analytical method and collecting library documents show that at present the possibility of electronic voting should be considered only as a complementary tool for traditional electoral processes. The main reason for this phenomenon is the digital divide, the inherent distrust of electronic voting, as well as the inadequacy of existing technology tools to meet certain requirements.
