“…First, the constituency system provides data that easily demonstrate spatial variation. There is also periodic attention to historical cases (Flint, 2001;O'Loughlin et al, 1994), and elections outside Europe and the Anglo-American core (Clem, 2006;Fox & Lemon, 2000;Hsu, 2009;Martis, Kovacs, Kovacs, & Peter, 1992;Osei-Kwame & Taylor, 1984;Perepechko, Kolossov, & ZumBrunnen, 2007;Vilalta y Perdomo, 2004). Nonetheless, the collection edited by Warf and Leib (2011) includes case studies from Europe and Asia in addition to those of the UK and USA.…”

In some ways, electoral geography has never been more popular. From the detailed, online maps of the Brexit vote to discussions of the electoral college versus the popular vote in the 2016 Trump–Clinton U.S. presidential contest, the relationships among geography, voting, and political power have seldom been more visible. The popularity of electoral geography in social and news media, however, does not necessarily reflect its presence in scholarly discussions, and indeed, in some ways, the former has replaced the latter. Digital technology and the burgeoning availability of electronic data mean that it is easier than ever to create maps of votes, often in near real time. Yet the academic field of electoral geography encompasses more than just mapping votes, including the study of election campaigns, political parties, electoral systems, and gerrymandering. The 3 major approaches are the geography of voting (mapping and visualizing votes), geographic influences on voting (the effect of place on political preferences and behavior), and the geography of representation (the analysis of electoral systems). Indeed, the structure of the electoral system, including gerrymandering, is often the key to understanding how political and racial/ethnic minorities can (or cannot) wield power and influence. This article examines each approach after a brief review of the historical origins of the subfield.

“…Russia after 1917 had turned into a one-party totalitarian regime, while Russia after 2007 became a presidential autocracy with no independent political role for party organizations. Some scholars argue (Kitschelt et al, 1999;Perepechko et al, 2006) that contemporary Russian parties are expressions of rediscovered cleavages as well as of conflicts engendered by the Tsarist and Soviet and post-Soviet periods of development. Even voting patterns of certain pre-Soviet and post-Soviet parties have some similarities: Russia's political space has a capacity to maintain continuity between voting patterns.…”

“…The role of post-Soviet civil society in political party formation has been weak. Ironically, despite the tumultuous regional economic and demographic changes of the past century, evidence exists that the attachment of votes to families of political parties in the regions has been stable (Perepechko et al, 2006). Nonetheless, between post-Soviet parliamentary elections major parties appear and disappear suddenly and often.…”

In this article, we use logit models to examine the role of the major characteristics of a political party's organization, (1) legitimation, (2) penetration/diffusion, (3) charisma, (4) ideology and (5) centralization/decentralization, in the institutionalization of parties in both pre-Soviet and post-Soviet Russian national parliamentary elections. The article begins by situating this research in the context of the theoretical and empirical literature on party origins, organizational development and institutionalization, in general, and party formation theories in post-communist countries, specifically. The impact of organizational features on electoral success or failure is analysed for 24 parties. The models correctly predicted both the successful and failed parties in the 2007 Russian Duma election and offer reasons for the apparent floating party system in Russia.

The influence of selected demographic characteristics on electoral behaviour in Slovakia in the interwar period Studying the electoral behaviour of voters is a basic prerequisite for understanding the results of the elections both in the present and in the past. The main goal of our paper is to determine the population's electoral preferences based on demographic indicators. We have considered, as the main indicators, nationality and religion. We have compared the findings with the previous works of historians and geographers who have reflected on this topic and who have considered these factors to be the main determinants of electoral support. But can we truly generalize this phenomenon? Although the electoral preference of the electorate during the first Czechoslovak Republic was significantly influenced by its national structure and religion in all parliamentary elections, there could have been political parties whose electoral support had no influence. Our study follows the evolution of voter's preference during 15 years and we are primarily interested in the elections to the Chamber of Deputies of the National Assembly of Czechoslovakia, which took place in April 1920, November 1925, October 1929 and May 1935. The area of research is bounded by the territory of today's Slovak Republic. To be able to interpret the obtained primary data, we used in this work a set of mathematical and statistical methods usually used in electoral geography as correlation and regression analysis.
