Replication Data for: Mapping the 2020 Slovak Parliamentary Election: Analysis of Spatial Support and Voter Transition

This contribution is a complex analysis of the geographic voting patterns in 2020 Slovak parliamentary election and it is focused on the undisputed winner of the election, the populist OĽaNO, and on the loser, the traditional left-wing SMER-SD. This paper also analyses the results of the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election within the context of electoral support and voter transition in comparison to the 2016 parliamentary election, and in part to the 2019 presidential election. The article aims to contribute to the undeveloped discourse relating to the spatial support of political parties in Slovakia and find how the selected socio-economic indicators explain the varying voting patterns. The main finding is that Slovakia is an internally heterogeneous country. The voting patterns differ not only between the western and eastern parts of the country, but also between districts within a common geographic area or region. This reveals the dividing lines in the country and indicates future trends in Slovakian politics.本研究针对2020年斯洛伐克议会选举的地理投票模式展开复杂分析，重点关注本次选举毫无争议的赢家——民粹主义政党OĽaNO，以及落败的传统左翼政党SMER-SD。本文还结合选举支持率与选民流动情况，将2020年斯洛伐克议会选举结果与2016年议会选举进行对比，并部分参照2019年总统选举的结果开展分析。本文旨在为斯洛伐克政党空间支持度相关的尚未充分发展的研究话语提供补充，并探究选定的社会经济指标如何解释投票模式的差异。核心研究结论显示，斯洛伐克是一个内部存在显著异质性的国家，其投票模式不仅在全国东西部之间存在显著分野，同一地理区域或大区内部的各选区之间也存在差异。这一发现揭示了该国国内的社会分歧边界，并预示了斯洛伐克政坛的未来发展趋势。
