The issue of municipal reform is clearly one of the major topics related to whole society. Many authors agree with its necessity, but their views of further direction of municipal reform diverge. On one hand there are preferences of maintaining the current model of cooperation with the legislative rules of cooperation being clearly defined. On the other hand, there is a preference for more radical solution in the form of merger. Inspiration for such action consists of several countries in Europe and the world, in which municipal reform has taken place. Less attention is paid to the various criticisms of authors regarding negative consequences of municipal reforms countries. The specific consequences that can bring merging municipalities will be of interest to present in this contribution. In this case, the primary evaluation measure will consist of the views of representatives of municipalities, therefore mayors of rural municipalities and mayors of cities.

In 2022, further municipal elections await us, for the first time connected with elections to the bodies of higher territorial units (self-governing regions). This paper aims to evaluate the issue of elections of mayors in Slovakia in a longer period of time (2002-2018), in terms of the degree of legitimacy regarding the power of this post with respect to the size categories of municipalities by population and related election results. In the study, we work with nine size categories, in the case of the two largest cities (Bratislava and Košice) also separately. In addition, the issue is assessed at the local level - at the level of municipalities forming clusters within the territory of Slovakia on the basis of a similar degree of legitimacy, using the concept of spatial autocorrelation. For this purpose, an index evaluating legitimacy of power was constructed consisting of three components taking into account the level of electoral support, turnout and competition. As an additive indicator, in the case of individual size categories of municipalities we present the intensity of changes in the position of mayor in the municipal elections since 2002. Higher legitimacy of the office has been identified in the case of smaller municipalities, but it is declining over time. On the contrary, the urban environment is characterized by a lower degree of legitimacy, but with a positive outlook (the trend of strengthening the legitimacy of the mayor's post). However, the development of the values concerning the individual components of the index is considerably divergent over time when comparing different municipal size categories.
