Summary/Abstract: The author questions the institutionalized method of studying the influence of electoral systems upon political life. Her case studies are the elections in Croatia, Serbia, and Macedonia. In all the three states the same electoral system was used — the two-stages majority electoral system, i. e. elections by absolute majority, yet the political effects were substantially different. They manifested themselves in the different types of party parliamentary system, the composition of each parliament and the relations of strength in them, as well as in the types of executive power.
