About article:
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.
