ISSN 2464-479X. Vol. 11, no. 1, pp. 1-24.The paper highlights the issue of strategic behaviour among political actors in selected elections to bodies of Slovak administrative regions held under a majoritarian electoral system. While we abstract from deeper contexts of game theory and rational decision-making, our main contribution lies in the substantive dimension. After revealing the weaknesses of the regional electoral system in the conditions of Slovakia, we emphasise potential solutions, whose effects are evaluated in the text. In the concluding section, we discuss alternative vote to open the debate on modifying the regional-level electoral system with a view to strengthening the power of individual voters.enCC BY-NC-ND Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0.
