Abstract: The subject of the research is the works of Russian experts in municipal law, Russian laws and regulations governing the procedure for disseminating information on the rule-making activities of local governments in electronic form as well as the practice of state authorities and local authorities on ensuring access of citizens and other interested parties to the system of municipal legal acts of the respective municipality. The authors pay special attention to the consideration of criteria for the classification of municipal legal acts in order to create an applied rubricator for their convenient storage and efficient search. The methodological basis of the study includes universal methods of dialectical materialism as well as system-structural, formal-logical, comparative-legal and other methods. Based on the results of the study, the authors came to the conclusion that at the legislative level it is necessary to establish requirements for the form and structure of representation on the official websites of local governments of municipal legal acts in terms of ensuring the search for an act according to various criteria. One of the promising areas of ensuring the accessibility of the entire system of municipal legal acts is the development of a thematic heading of municipal legal acts adapted for the needs of municipal lawmaking and law enforcement practice including the “powers of local governments established by law”.
