Article analyses the electoral success of non-partisan presidential candidates in Lithuania by exploring the institutional, supply and demand factors. The main contribution relates to the demand side: presented research tests two hypotheses that aim to explain the voters' support for the non-partisan presidents and candidates. First, analysis shows that some non-partisan presidential candidates capitalize on the voters' dissatisfaction with democracy. However, relationship is nonexistent or even reversed in the other cases. Second, article finds that different non-partisan presidents (candidates) appear to be "partisans in disguise", as they find particular electoral niches and are supported by different party electorates
