Anotace: Class based electoral behaviour belongs to topics that have been subject of research for

many decades; especially in developed Western countries. The class structure is a basis for class
voting research. The EGP scheme is a most widespread model of social structure. This scheme
is based on the employment structure; some authors prefer other models based for example. On
the number of assets of each household or on the household income. This paper attempts to test
different stratification models using the Colombia example to see whether class voting results will
differ significantly or whether certain matches will be found.
