Summary
Digital public administrations are playing an increasingly important role in connecting public administrations, local authorities and citizens through new innovative digital systems. These developments not only enable more efficient administration, but also contribute to the delivery of public services in a faster, more transparent and more accessible way, thus raising their quality. The use of new digital systems meets the requirements of EU conformity, which will increase the unity and efficiency of public administrations. The study presents the innovative digital developments of the past decades that have enabled local governments to become part of the eGovernment system. It also discusses in detail the adaptation of the legal environment to this, thus providing a comprehensive picture of Hungary’s digital e-government development and the related regulatory framework.
