    UNDERSTANDING VOTER BEHAVIOR AND ELECTION DYNAMICS: A CASE STUDY OF THE 2021 LOCAL ELECTIONS IN KOSOVO

This is due to the greater attention given to national elections, which often determine the parliamentary composition and the country‟s leadership. Despite their significance, elections at lower geographical levels are considered second-order elections and have received comparatively less scholarly attention than higher-level elections (Reif and Schmitt 1980).
