Summary/Abstract: Digital technology is changing people’s lives, and the digitization strategy that is desired at the governmental level in the European Union aims to make this transformation work for people, public institutions, and companies. Information protection has become a significant challenge for many institutions. They want to make sure that no one can steal or compromise what data and information they have. One of the new pressing problems that must be solved when implementing modern technologies is the protection of information that is not intended for the general public. The complexity of this issue is increasing in the context of the application of personal data protection legislation. In order to respond effectively to the desire to constantly improve the electoral process, Electoral Management Bodies must take measures to improve administrative processes in the sense of simplifying, digitizing and professionalizing staff, which are the new trends in public administration management. The paper examines the most important reforms that electoral management bodies have to make, in line with the new models of the public sector and proposes a new vision on cyber security, to be adopted within them.
