According to the authors, “gender” is not only a scientific category, but also a dynamic and transforming social construct.

The article shows the relationship between the development of civil society institutions and the parameters of citizens’ political participation in the gender dimension. The gender-dependent transformation of political behavior and electoral preferences in a postmodern situation is shown. Perspective directions of the analysis of political processes taking into account the gender factor are presented.
