ANALYSIS OF COSTS AND EFFICIENCY OF THE CZECH ELECTORAL SYSTEM
Original language description
In recent years, more and more countries are in the so-called crisis of democracy. One of its symptoms is the lack of interest of a growing group of citizens on public affairs, which is reflected in long-term declining voter turnout. However, every election (the public service) in the Czech Republic is relatively costly. The aim of the paper is to create and broaden the view of the perceptions of the election not only as a social problem of the choice theory but also of the cost of the society itself. Motives for people should be, therefore, using their legal rights and to participation not only in order to determine the future direction of the territorial unit in which they live but also to use the public services offered to them by the country. Only then these services can be evaluated as effective and meaningful. Paper deals with the analysis of elections´ costs and its trends. There are analysed most significant cost items and, on the basis of these, the performance indicators (especially number of eligible voters and number of electoral districts and a scope of competence) illustrate the cost inefficiency of public service provision (election), which is paradoxically higher for territorial self-governing units that should realize a higher degree of economies of scale.
