© 2020 International Research Publication House. All rights reserved. The study is devoted to one of the topical areas of modern jurisprudence, i.e. digital technologies in law. The authors made an attempt to reveal the use of digital technologies in the context of the implementation of the responsibility by government officials. The paper examines Russian and foreign studies regarding both digital technologies in law and the institution of responsibility held by officials from public authorities. The authors reveal their features, substantiate the effectiveness and constructiveness of their application in the implementation of the responsibility held by officials from executive authorities based on analysis of the studies by the example of the legislation of the Russian Federation and foreign countries, and the practice of using digital technologies. In addition, the authors conduct a comparative legal analysis of their legal regulation and focus on possible problematic aspects. The conclusion is made that on the basis of the existing constitutional practice and the rapid development of digital technologies, it is necessary to change a number of normative legal acts that ensure their use.
