Sažetak
Electoral systems can be analyzed by means of their numerous properties. Some quantitative indicators of a few technical features of electoral systems are considered. With respect to the effective number of parties in a electoral system, one can observe some known indicators (e.g., fractionalization of vote shares, the Laakso-Taagepera index, the Wildgen index, the Molinar index). With regard to the government stability, one can look at the indicator which is called the expectation of government stability. These indicators are examined from the empirical point of view, i.e., in relation of elections in different countries.
