Abstract
Political parties that compete in elections often promote themselves through affirmative political concepts for the development of society. Expectedly, in their functioning, through the ideological determination and the institutional foundation, political parties express serious mutual differences, especially in terms of the values on which they base their public policies, the perspectives for the development of the society, and the separate social areas. Taking this into consideration, political parties also differ according to the credibility that they enjoy in the public. However, when making the decision of which party to give their vote in the elections, citizens are guided by different motives. Few viewpoints dominate in the theories of voting which try to explain the electoral behavior of voters. This text aims to synthesize the cognitions offered in the theories of voting and to answer the following questions: Why is some citizens voting? Why is he voting for one party and not for another political party? Why do most citizens vote for a certain political party and not for another one? Do they do this because they belong to a certain social group, social layer, religious community or another factor for shaping the collective affiliations? Does the voting behavior determine the feeling of loyalty to a particular social group and to what extent? Is it a matter of personal interest? In an attempt to answer these questions in the work, once again we return to the dominant theories of voting (the sociological or Columbia approach to voting, the psychological or Michigan approach, and the economic one). Also, the work contains a short representation of the latest and insufficiently formed model of voting called model of the dominant ideology.
