Abstract

From 1923 White Carniola was an electoral district under the electoral unit of Ljubljana–Novo mesto. Among 1418 election candidates in the old Yugoslavia, we can identify thirty-eight from White Carniola. Two of them were also elected. The electoral district of White Carniola was too small to ensure its candidates a seat, even though the party garnered strong local support. Most candidates were landowners by occupation. White Carniola’s voters gave their support to a list of candidates that did not win in the majority of electoral districts under the electoral unit of Ljubljana–Novo mesto.
