Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the analysis of election results, in particular parliamentary election, to the Chamber of Deputies of the National Assembly in the interwar period. Compared are districts Levice, Rožňava and Veľké Kapušany. The attention is focused on the national composition and social structure and its affect on the political process and parliamentary results in mentioned districts. District Levice had about the same population as district Rožňava. District Veľké Kapušany was in terms of population smaller but in all studied districts was approximately equal percentage of representatives of the Hungarian minority. Election results from 1925, 1929 and 1935 show that despite a weaker representation of the Hungarian minority, when compared to the German minority, the representation of minorities in ČSR was fair and certainly better than the representation of the non-Hungarian nationalities in the pre 1918 Hungarian Parliament.
