The article discusses the concept of “electronic government”. Electronic government forms due to the use of informative and communicative technology by the executive organs of state power. In the scientific sphere, several terms are used, at first glance similar to their content: “electric state government”, “electronic government” and “electronic management”. The variety of terms used in scientific literature is conditioned by the fact that the term “e-government” used in foreign “electronic government” most of the time can be named as similar to the understanding of English electronic government, as in foreign politic law doctrine this term is used for writing the processes, happening in the state as a whole and affecting all three branches of state power. “The English term “e-government” is considered as “electronic government”. However, in foreign politics, in the literature, for the purpose of researching the changes that occur in the state administration, in connection with the use of informative and communicative technology, “e-governance” is used. In this case, the terms “e-government” and “e-governance” are denoted by their meaning. Besides, on the basis of political law in foreign countries, two principles for the definition of the concept of electronic government: narrow and wide (general theoretic) are investigated in the article. The definition of electronic government is stated to be a tool that accompanies the changes in the system of executive power, the usage of the internet and other digital technology in these types of organs with the aim of offering services, information, and provision of democratic procedures, the increased transparency of executive power. The opinions of scientists in the field of electronic government are analyzed and appropriate conclusions are drawn. The trends in the introduction of information technologies in the activities of executive bodies in the provision of public services to the population are considered.
