Nowadays information technology is becoming an important component of public administration. Citizens involvement in the public digital environment requires them to acquire digital competencies that allow them to effectively interact with the state in the public management process. Russian regions are actively involved in digitalization processes and implement algorithmic governance. Our paper aimed to study participatory algorithmic governance and its opportunities for Russian regions in the aspect of implementing electronic citizen participation. Regional practices have been examined analyzed (on the example of participatory budgeting projects in Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands), and the thesis about the influence of algorithmization of political governance on the process of institutionalization of civil participation is substantiated.
