Abstract: The article examines legislative turnover rates of MPs in 11 Central and Eastern European countries using an original dataset of turnover rates and compares them to turnover rates in other democracies. Despite turnover rates being higher than in Western Europe, there are large differences between individual countries and an overall declining trend of turnover rates. Utilising multilevel hierarchical regression models, five most commonly used legislative turnover determinants are tested in regards of their effects on turnover rates. The analysis shows that the type of electoral system, term length, change in chamber size and electoral volatility all contribute to legislative turnover.
