The typology of public control over elections in the present constitutional and legal experience is a complex and multi-level classification based on the differentiation of public control over elections on the basis of different criteria in order to define it more precisely in theoretical and legal terms. The main reason for this is the extremely dynamic and multidimensional nature of both the public control itself and the elections it holds. In the present constitutional and legal experience, it is proposed to classify public control over elections by the following criteria: 1) by the level of implementation; 2) by the level of constitutional regulation; 3) by the subjects; 4) by the time of conducting; 5) by type of election; 6) on the grounds of elections; 7) by constitutional and legal forms; 8) by volume; 9) by authentically; 10) by efficiency
