Abstract

The article analyzes territorial peculiarities of the electoral behavior in Belarus on the basis of the official ballots during the Presidential elections in 1994, 2001 and 2006. The author concludes that regardless of the lack of full trust to the official data (in particular in 2001 and 2006), its analysis allows to retrace the territorial peculiarities of voting and to localize the relatively «oppositional» and «anti-oppositional» areas which reflect the essential regional differences preserved by the authoritarian regime.

Key words:

Presidential elections, election, elections of 1994, 2001 and 2006 in Belarus, electoral behavior, map of the electoral behavior, political forces in Belarus.
