Abstract

Abstract By means of a qualitative analysis of the sixteen municipalities in the Czech Republic in which additional elections were held in 2019, five variables were identified which may explain why additional elections occurred. For analysis, we used data from the Czech Statistical Office (municipal elections 1994 to 2019), the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic and information on individual municipalities from media analysis. We have identified the following possible variables which may affect whether additional elections are held: end of elites, non -stand as a candidate again, the end of municipal representatives, incumbent decides not to defend mandate (variable Non -defend mandate) and personal disputes within the municipality. Conversely, the financial situation of the municipality, the age of the representatives, the voter turnout in the municipality, the number of voters, the number of candidate lists or associations and candidates proved inconclusive in most municipalities. A significant increase in new candidates is a consequence rather than an explanation of the holding of additional elections.
没有民选议会的市镇。2018年地方选举中一些市镇候选人名单执行不力的原因
摘要通过对2019年举行额外选举的捷克共和国16个市镇的定性分析,确定了五个变量,这些变量可以解释为什么会举行额外选举。为了进行分析,我们使用了捷克统计局(1994年至2019年市政选举)、捷克共和国内政部的数据,以及来自媒体分析的各个市政当局的信息。我们已经确定了以下可能影响是否举行额外选举的变量:精英阶层的终结、不再作为候选人参选、市政代表的终结、现任者决定不捍卫授权(变量不捍卫授权)以及市政内部的个人纠纷。相反,在大多数城市,市政当局的财政状况、代表的年龄、市政当局的选民投票率、选民人数、候选人名单或协会的数量以及候选人的数量都没有定论。新候选人的大幅增加是举行额外选举的结果,而不是解释。
