This article concerns the definitions, worldwide views and Polish literature on the nature of cultural, administrative and political landscape and in this context discusses the nature and functioning of the political region. As examples of the transition of political regions, illustrating the discussion from the first part of the article, there were selected the changes of the administrative landscape and the world political map at the turn of the centuries in the post-Soviet space, as well as in Africa, India and Canada.

W artykule dokonano przeglądu definicji oraz poglądów w światowej i polskiej litera-turze na istotę krajobrazu kulturowego, krajobrazu administracyjnego i krajobrazu poli-tycznego, i w tym kontekście przedstawiono istotę oraz funkcjonowanie regionu po-litycznego. Jako przykłady przemian regionów politycznych ilustrujących dyskusję z pierwszej części artykułu wybrano zmiany krajobrazu administracyjnego i mapy politycznej na przełomie XX i XXI w. w przestrzeni postradzieckiej, a także w Afryce, Indiach i Kanadzie.

This article explores the phenomenon of elections as a political chronotope, a spatio-temporal realm where the mechanisms of democracy unfold. Its aim is to elucidate the unique socio-political nature of elections. The author establishes that the spatial and temporal characteristics define the format and regulations governing electoral interactions. The term «chronotope» is understood as an interdisciplinary concept that captures the essential connections between temporal and spatial features within a specific order of phenomena. Although extensive research has focused on the social, technical, and psychological aspects of expressing one›s will, the ontology of elections, which encompasses the comprehension of the «unity of time and place of action» and the involvement of political actors in the electoral scenario, has been largely overlooked. Additionally, this study concentrates on the concept of the electoral situation, which delineates the synchronous and diachronic connections wherein citizens’ political choices are positioned, realized, and interpreted. The notion of the electoral situation can be correlated with the term «political landscape», which is only partially related to actual geography but predominantly pertains to the comprehensive conditions of an electoral competition (the coordinate system) and the participants involved in this process. The article’s author illustrates how the electoral situation constructs synchronous and diachronic connections at various levels of political interaction. Notably, these connections are facilitated by political mythologems, which serve as unifying and integrative factors within the electoral chronotope. By examining these mythologems, the author highlights their role in shaping the narrative and symbolism surrounding elections, ultimately influencing the dynamics and outcomes of the electoral process. Overall, this article delves into the intricate relationship between elections and the spatio-temporal framework in which they occur. By emphasizing the significance of the electoral situation and its connection to the broader political landscape, the author sheds light on the multifaceted nature of electoral processes, enriching our understanding of democracy’s fundamental mechanisms.
