Abstract

After the October 2021 elections to the Chamber of Deputies in the Czech Republic, the most discussed topic has been preferential voting due to the surprising results for the coalition of the Czech Pirate Party and the Mayors and Independents. This fact led us to pursue a comprehensive analysis of preferential voting in the Czech Republic. Taking a broad perspective, this study of the Czech Republic explores the mechanisms of preferential voting in flexible-party lists. Preferential voting is analysed at the party-electorate level. This article proves that a flexible-party list system can have significantly different results compared to other systems in accordance with the number of votes per voter and the threshold for candidates. It also finds evidence that sub-party competition is significantly higher for coalitions where the degree of preferential voting is higher. The ideological stance of a political party does not play a role in the use of preferential votes.

捷克共和国众议院选举中的优先投票制

在捷克共和国2021年10月的众议院选举之后，由于捷克海盗党与市长和独立党联盟的惊人结果，人们讨论最多的话题是优先投票。这一事实使我们对捷克共和国的优惠投票进行全面分析。从宏观的角度出发，本研究探讨了捷克共和国在灵活政党名单中的优先投票机制。在政党和选民的层面上分析了优先投票。本文证明，根据每位选民的选票数和候选人的门槛，灵活的政党名单制度与其他制度相比可以产生显着不同的结果。研究还发现，在优先投票程度越高的联盟中，子党竞争明显越高。政党的意识形态立场并不影响优先选票的使用。
