The main goal of this article is to analyze the possibilities of using crowdsourcing in solving problems at the municipal level in the Russian Arctic zone.

It was revealed that crowdsourcing in the Arctic municipalities is a promising opportunity in the solution of local problems by the local population. The results obtained within the framework of the study allow to deepen the existing knowledge system of crowdsourcing as a new phenomenon of municipal management, and consideration of the application of the crowdsourcing principles at the level of municipal management will allow the authorities to develop objective measures for the qualitative development of the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.
