Monitoring the election results has its statistical aspect, and in that sense, one of the most interesting statistical indicators is certainly sex distribution. Its importance is supported by one of the indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, and it refers to the share of women in national parliaments and local governments.
In the local elections held in 2025, a total of 757 leaders in local and regional self-government units were elected, of which 17.2% were women and 82.8% were men. Among county prefects and deputy county prefects, women accounted for 22.8%, while the share of women among mayors and their deputies was 22.4%. The lowest share of women was recorded among municipal mayors and their deputies, where only 14.3% were women, while men made up 85.7%.
Compared to the local elections in 2021, when it comes to leaders in local and regional self-government units the share of women has slightly increased (in 2021, women made up 15.8%), while the proportions among county prefects and their deputies, as well as mayors and their deputies, have remained almost unchanged.
