Abstract
Based on existing archives, publishings by political parties and otherwise, as well the relevant literature, the author analysed pre-election activities and voting results from municipal and parliamentary elections in Koprivnica county in 1920. Both the municipal and the parliamentary elections showed, that Croatian Peasants Party, led by Stjepan Radić, was the strongest political force in the county. Political struggle in Koprivnica county was influenced by important role played by different professional organizations, such as the chamber of trades. Thanks to its support, after the November 1920 parliamentary elections, another Croatian political party, Hrvatska Zajednica (Croatian Community) shall have become a big rival to Radić’ party in Koprivnica.
