Abstract
The article examines electoral behavior in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, including in a cross-regional context. Based on empirical data, it is shown that the level of electoral participation in elections of one level or another is quite low in temporal terms. In addition, the genesis of such social positioning is revealed. The aspects of electoral preferences in relation to the pro-government party are considered and the level of its legitimacy is reflected depending on the level of the election campaign. One of the methodological approaches in the analysis of electoral participation is social differentiation, which is based primarily not on ideological attitudes, but on socio-cultural orientations, professional and labor activities and characteristics of the urbanized environment. The features of the regional party-political system are highlighted (through the prism of the dominant party subject), which is determined by social preferences and institutional constraints expressed in the form of appropriate thresholds.
