Local elections in Prague and your impact
EU citizens living in Prague have the right to vote in municipal elections — elections that decide who leads the city and your local district. Nearly 60,000 EU citizens in Prague have this right, yet fewer than 1,900 are registered as voters. We want to change that. You live here, pay taxes here, and use local services every day — and local politics directly shapes transport, housing, schools, public spaces and the quality of life in your neighbourhood. This year, registration is easier than ever: use our tool to make the process clear, or register directly at your polling station on election day. Prague is your home too — make sure your voice is heard.
Prague is governed by three layers: City Hall, 57 local districts, and the National Government. Take this quiz to see if you know who is actually responsible for your street.
Local elections are decided by hundreds of votes. Find out how many EU voters are registered in each district, and what potential they have. Spoiler – it is HUGE!
If you live in Prague and have an EU passport, you can vote in municipal elections! But you need registration – either in advance (recommended), using our tool, or at the correct polling station. Register in advance using our simple tool, and get your voting envelope early!
How many EU voters live in each Prague district? A lot! But some are more populated, some are far less. And check out general statistics on Prague’s foreigners!
The Czech Republic hosts approximately 1.06 million foreign nationals, accounting for about 10% of the total population.
Between 2019 and 2023, 28,797 individuals acquired Czech citizenship.
Currently, there are 349,317 foreigners with permanent residence, that is the last step before acquiring citizenship, so number of new citizens is expected to rise significantly.
Politics doesn’t have to divide us—it can bring us closer. This guide offers simple, practical tips for starting respectful and meaningful conversations about elections, even with those who see things differently.
For example: instead of saying “How can you vote for them?”, try asking “What issues matter most to you in this election?” It opens the door to understanding instead of shutting it down.
The Czech political landscape includes parties with very different values, priorities and visions for the country. Understanding who they are and what they stand for is an important first step towards making an informed choice.
