Abstract
ABSTRACT Study examines the results of the 2017 elections to the Czech Chamber of Deputies based on the administrative districts of municipalities. Beta regression and Seemingly Unrelated Regression models identify main determinants of voting for anti-system parties and/or voter absenteeism. The results show that the greatest electoral dissatisfaction occurs in regions dominated by agriculture and mining industries, particularly the former Sudetenland. This territory, emptied after the WWII, was often inhabited by people who either were looking for an easy way to gain the property left by the displaced Germans or were forced to move there by the former communist regime.
