Summary/Abstract: The Influence of the Type of the Executive Coalition to the Next Election Results. Czech Local Politics in 1994 – 2014 as a Field for Explore. This article focuses on the topics related to the research of the party convergence and its impact on the election results. At the research field of the Czech municipal politics we try to answer the question whether voters behave differently towards the members of grand and other coalitions in the next elections and whether that behaviour changes in time. The impact of the coalition behaviour to the election results of the four strongest political parties at the municipal level in twenty years between 1994 and 2014 is studied.Sociológia 2017, Vol. 49 (No. 1: 37-54)
