The events taking place at the municipal elections on October 15, 1933 stand out because they had
stirred the grey, rigid political and election lull during the period of King Alexander’s reign. Even
though this was the period of dictatorship the former Slovene People’s Party (SLS) had decided to
run. The political fight in the fall of 1933 was thus fought by two highly uneven political sides, that of
the strong pro-regime Yugoslav National Party, and the formally non-existent Slovene People’s Party
as its opponent. The author analyzes the motives and standpoints of both sides, and focuses on numerous
irregularities that had occurred during the elections. The analysis is based on newspaper sources,
on the report of the former SLS party on the 1933 elections, and on the resolutions of the Drava
Province Administrative Court in Celje, which due to many irregularities had nullified the outcome of
the elections in 25 municipalities.
