sistem electoral, alegeri locale, lider, partid politic, comportament electoralRezumat
Articolul de față își propune să realizeze o incursiune teoretică asupra comportamentului electoral prin prisma resorturilor care contează atunci când electorii aleg, insistând asupra determinismelor care pot conta pentru aceștia: raporturile dintre liderii politici și partidele din care aceștia fac parte.
Pornind de la analizele teoretice realizate mai ales pentru rundele electorale de nivel național /central, articolul își propune să contureze formula de determinism dintre liderii locali desemnați pentru funcția de primari la alegerile locale în sensul de a influența rezultatele alegerilor electorale în raport cu votul obținut de partide pentru desemnarea aleșilor propuși pentru Consiliile locale/ partidele din care aceștia fac parte.
Analiza propusă este una cantitativă, exploratorie, pornind de la rezultatele obținute în județul Iași la alegerile locale din anii 2020 – 2024 pentru desemnarea Primarilor (lider politic) și a Consiliilor locale (partid) din județul Iași.
