Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of the general classification of electoral systems as well as the classification of mixed electoral systems. The author does not focus on his own vision of such classifications, but analyzes retro-spectively the problems brought to existing classifications by the necessity of inclusion of mixed electoral systems. The problems caused real crisis of the early classifications and this crisis was not properly overcome by the modern classifications. The problems were mostly caused by the excessive empiricism of the researches, lack of attention to the atypical kinds of electoral systems and unwarranted appeals to the traditional triadic vision of electoral formula as a foundation for the whole construction of the general classification of electoral systems. The author proposes a couple of principles which can help in the development of the modern holistic and con-sistent classification of the electoral systems. It would be useful to keep the balance between the empirically searched electoral systems and theoretically possible electoral systems which are likely to emerge in real world in future. It would be reasonable to have an attempt to avoid of the electoral formula as a core element of the classification, since it has already lost its traditional distinct meaning. It would be useful not to look for the most generally spread types of electoral systems but to frame the classification with the help of the characteristics of the most extreme atypical kinds of electoral systems. It would be helpful to develop a separate classification of the mixed electoral systems along with the general classification of the electoral systems. Such a classification can be used to describe properly core features of mixed electoral systems and their variety. The author supposes that Ukrainian political scientists would be able to contribute into the development of the new classification of the electoral systems.
