Abstract

The article presents the evaluation of selected characteristics of communes and candidates in terms of possible moderation of chances of re-election of incumbents as the managers of communal executive in urban and urban-rural communes in the 2014 election. The conclusions suggest that the chance of re-election in that election in the above-mentioned group of offices was effectively moderated i.a., by variables such as: the duration of holding the office before, having the majority in the communal council, the type of affiliation of the incumbent’s election committee, and the values of the following variables in the year of the election: the commune’s asset-related investment expenditure per capita, % of commune’s expenditure on culture, p.c. of commune’s expenditure on social welfare, as well as the number of foundations, associations and social organizations except Voluntary Fire Brigades per 10 thousand residents.
