Summary/Abstract: Obsolete instrumentation of the electoral system is an important cause of retardation of the process of democratization of elections. Electoral procedure is stretched and lasts too long. The same forms repeat manifold especially so called mass meetings of citizens and working people, while meetings are not a suitable form tor getting information about individual thinking of the voters' confidence concerning potential candidates. Therefore usually there is no confrontation about persons who are proposed h representative functions in assemblies. So »empty« space appears where s me interested group come in and lead unprincipled emulation for places assemblies. It would be convenient, in looking for better solutions, to re upon forms of political action by means of which it would be easier approach to the particular voter — by interrogation of public opinion, etc.
