The aim of this bachelor thesis is to analyze the territorial differentiation of ČSSD election support in elections to the Chamber of Deputies in 2013-2017. The analysis of parliamentary elections in these years has so far been the subject of very few studies. First of all, on the basis of electoral geography methods the territory where the Social Democrats gained the most support is defined. Then, using the statistical methods (linear regression), the characteristics of such a territory are determined. This will also define the independent variables that determine the ČSSD election support the most. The unit of the analyzed area are districts of the Czech Republic. The bachelor thesis concludes that the ČSSD electoral base did not change much in this period. The In addition, ČSSD gained the most support in 2013-2017 in the same districts of the Czech Republic. The ČSSD received more support in districts with higher unemployment, a lower proportion of university graduates, a lower proportion of people in execution and a higher proportion of older people.
