STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTION RESULTS OF URBAN REPRESENTATIVES IN HUNGARY BETWEEN 1848 AND 1918
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF THE ELECTION RESULTS OF URBAN REPRESENTATIVES IN HUNGARY BETWEEN 1848 AND 1918

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I will introduce our research results concerning the election of urban representatives. I focused on two issues: 1. What was the connection between the district and the representative, was he an outsider or a member of the local elite? 2. Can we identify groups whose representatives followed similar party preferences during elections at the time of the Dual Monarchy? The analysis is based on statistical methods. I conclude that the performance of candidates did not depend on the political attitudes of a given district. The causes of the given phenomena cannot be identified by macro-level research, but the macro-level research helps the local research by the establishment of categories within which the given local phenomena can be interpreted. The tables of this paper facilitate the national comparison of local research results.
