Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the results of the 2022 elections to one of the bodies of the Košice Self-Governing Region (Košický samosprávny kraj, KSK). Its main objective is to find out the success rate of candidates for the KSK Council in selected groups of candidates (independent candidates, candidates of political parties representing the Hungarian national minority and candidates of other political parties) and to find differences between them with respect to selected socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, education, occupation) in the 2022 regional elections. An important source of data is the official electoral statistics published by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic. Based on the data obtained, it can be concluded that the voters of Hungarian political parties vote differently, especially regarding the education and occupation of the candidates they choose. Voters for independent candidates voted the same as the majority of voters in KSK in terms of the education and occupation of candidates.
