Quantitative Analysis of Preferential Voting in Regional Elections in the Czech Republic
Cvejn, Michal ; Švec, Kamil (advisor) ; Jüptner, Petr (referee)
The thesis deals with preferential voting in regional elections in the Czech Republic. The preferential vote has had little effect until recent adjustment of electoral system, which lowered the eligibility threshold from 10 to 5 %, thus making an opening for more important role of voters' preferences. Author makes use of newly available data to assess the impact of the electoral reform. The reform is shown to make a significant, but rather uneven impact across political parties and regions. The effect of preferential vote is largely concentrated among smaller parties and low-size electoral districts, leaving some regions and parties unaffected. Mechanisms that facilitate this outcome are discussed in detail.
