Abstract

The relevance of the topic is determined by the need to increase the attention of non-profit organizations to young people in order to stimulate the participation of young citizens in the political process implemented through electoral procedures. The purpose of the study is to analyze the influence of the non-profit sector on the electoral activity of Volgograd youth in the context of regional elections. The methodological basis of the study is general theoretical methods, systems analysis, and an institutional approach. As an empirical method, a questionnaire survey among students of Volgograd universities studying at various levels of higher education (from the first to the sixth year) is used. As part of the sociological research using the questionnaire survey method, a sample of 200 respondents was formed. The results of the study are determined by the development of a set of measures aimed at the institutional integration of NPO representatives into the structure of election commissions at various levels. It is proposed to introduce corresponding amendments to the Law of the Volgograd Region dated 15.07.2011 No. 2210-OD “On State Youth Policy in the Volgograd Region” with the aim of legally securing the rights and obligations of NPOs in the area of increasing the electoral activity of young people and developing civic responsibility.
