This democratization trend is interpreted as leading world and domestic political process and the political-cultural factor as one of the decisive factors of the election process. Most studies of the electoral process in some way related to the search of objective factors that decisively influence the outcome of elections. Such factors within the sociological approach B. Berelson, P. Lazarsfeld, S. Lipset, S. Rokkan include societal schisms that are caused by the activities of special political elites within sociopsychological approach considers O. Meleshkina party identification, rational economic models A. Dauns, M. Fiorina, V. Nechayev consider factors such individuals attempt to minimize their costs and their aspirations to assess their social and economic situation in the future or in retrospect.
