Vliv sociodemografických faktorů na volební účast

The bachelor’s thesis deals with sociodemographic factors that may affect the voter turnout and that put forward beneficial information resulting from the analysis of data gained and examined in the Czech territory. The major part is based on the binary logistic regression of various factors such as voter’s gender, age, the level of education, income, and the place of residence. The outcomes of binary logistic regression prove the positive correlation among the willingness to vote, age of the voter and the education level of the voter, however, there has been defined certain groups of voters in which positive correlation has not been proved (the middle-income group, low-income group and the factor of gender show the negative impact on the willingness to vote if the person is woman). The outcomes of the analysis also showed that there is no correlation in the place of residence and voter turnout (half of the regions of the Czech Republic are statistically insignificant). This bachelor’s thesis extends the existing knowledge regarding the voter turnout in the Czech Republic about the information based on the analysis that utilize the quantitative methods. Published outcomes are expected to support finding the solution to reverse decreasing voter turnout.
