Abstract

V prispevku smo na primeru volitev v Državni zbor 2022 analizirali razmestitev krajev bivanja poslanskih kandidatov ter pri tem ugotavljali, koliko kandidatur je lokalnih in koliko te vplivajo na izide volitev. Raziskava je temeljila na geokodiranju 1471 naslovov stalnega prebivališča, prostorskem opredeljevanju lokalnosti kandidatur ter statističnih testih za odvisne in neodvisne vzorce. Ugotovili smo, da največ poslanskih kandidatov prihaja iz urbanih središč, kar je nekoliko več glede na siceršnjo razporeditev prebivalstva. Slabi dve tretjini (65,6 %) sta kandidirali v lokalnem okraju, če lokalnost opredelimo na ravni statistične regije, pa je takšnih kandidatov 83,2 %. Ugotovili smo tudi, da so lokalni kandidati dosegli nekoliko boljše izide od nelokalnih, kar je malce bolj izrazito na podeželju. Raziskava ovrednoti ta spoznanja tudi z vidika uvedbe t. i. domicilnega načela v volilni zakonodaji.
 »Do we prefer homemade bread to foreign cake?« The impact of local candidacies on the outcome of the 2022 Slovenian parliamentary elections
 This paper analyses the distribution of the parliamentary candidates’ places of residence of the 2022 Slovenian parliamentary elections to determine the share of local candidacies and the extent to which they affected the election results. The study encompasses the geocoding of 1,471 residential addresses, the spatial identification of local candidacies, and statistical tests for dependent and independent samples. We found that most parliamentary candidates come from urban centers which is above average relative to the spatial distribution of the population. Around two thirds (65.6%) lived in the local constituency in which they ran, and 83.2% lived in the respective region. We also found that local candidates perform somewhat better than non-local candidates, which is more pronounced in rural areas. The study also evaluates these phenomena in light of the introduction of the »domicile« requirement in the electoral legislation.
