Analysis of presidential elections in the Republic of Croatia from 2000 to 2020

Izborna geografija je dio političke geografije te nastoji pronaći i objasniti veze političkih izbora i ostalih prostornih fenomena. Izborna geografija nastoji objasniti kako određena životna sredina, interesi te karakteristike stanovništva utječu na izborna ponašanja, odnosno rezultate glasovanja. Ovaj rad se bavi analizom predsjedničkih izbora u RH u novom tisućljeću. Rezultati izbora prikazani su po jedinicama lokalne i regionalne samouprave koji su se detaljnije objasnili i analizirali. Također, istraženo je kakav utjecaj prostorni identitet regije, prosječna dob i visoko obrazovanje imaju na rezultate glasovanja.Electoral geography is a part of political geography that tries to find and explain the connection between elections and other spatial phenomena. Electoral geography tries to explain how a certain environment, interests and the characteristics of the population can and do affect electoral behaviour, i.e. voting results. This paper analyses the presidential elections in the Republic of Croatia in the 21st century. The election results are presented on both the municipality level, as well as county level, and the results are further explained and analysed. Also, this paper is trying to examine the connection between the spatial identity of certain regions, average and higher education on the results of the presidential elections
