Summary/Abstract: The 2016 General Election in the City of Kosice: A Spatial Analysis. The goal of the article is to describe spatial patterns of the 2016 general election voting support on the administrative territory of the city of Kosice. The analysis contains parties that exceeded 0.05 threshold at the national level. The description identifies each party’s territory of voting support, territory of stable voting support (2010 – 2016), and spatial variance. The explanation is based on compositional approach using the Lipset-Rokkan model. The only core-periphery cleavage is markedly present in voting behaviour of Kosice inhabitants. The analysis also shows distinctions in voting support among different parts of the city.Sociológia 2018, Vol. 50 (No. 1: 31-56)
