Sumario:The paper presented aims to analyze the most relevant practical and theoretical issues faced with the possibility of carrying out a constitutional referendum and / or general elections through the use of information and communication technologies. Thus, initially, the concept of digital democracy will be addressed, and then the practical issues that derive from it will be examined, in particular: hacking, doxxing, fake news, etc. Thirdly, the approach to the normative frame of reference will seek to clarify the theoretical considerations in order to determine the dysfunctions that could occur under the influence of information and communication technologies in the aforementioned participatory procedures.
