    The democratic transition in Eastern and Central Europe provides a good opportunity to examine how to apply the findings of the science of elections in a new dimension. This study based on 167 elections in 23 countries shows the formation, evolution and political consequences of the new electoral systems. The hypothesis of the paper is that the elections and electoral systems in this region not always correspond to the conventional wisdom. Our analysis divides into five parts the region (Central Europe, Western and Eastern Balkans, Baltic States and the other former republics of Soviet Union). This division helps to get an sophisticatad picture about the emergence and changes of the new electoral systems. By showing country by country we can demonstrate the similarities and differences between and within subgroups as well. Finally using three well-known indices (least square index, effective electoral and parliamentary number of parties) the study summarizes – country by country and subgroups by subgroups by type – the political consequences for the proportionality and party structure. The analysis of the 167 elections demonstrates that Eastern and Central Europe does not show uniformity regarding the political consequences of the electoral systems. Their influence is more moderate than in the established democracies and they are also much more volatile. Their changes have shown rather diverging than converging trend in the last quarter century. The conventional findings are difficult to apply for this region, they are only partially valid, especially the formation of party structure differ from the previous experiences. In sum the Eastern and Central European elections do not invalidate the conventional statements of the elctoral studies but they offen do not show corresponding image. So they significantly contribute to the further development and refinement of the previous findings.
