Summary/Abstract: The paper looks into the effectiveness of the application of preferential quotas for electoral posts and compares the different quota systems in the EU countries. Starting from the assumption that political parties in contemporary democracies are major actors in the representation of women in national parliaments, the author analyses the (un)favourable conditions for women in candidacy procedures and some examples of (un)successful quota implementations.
