EU citizens in the Czech Republic: Get registered to vote!
In 2026 we will help EU citizens get registered to vote in the local elections through our EU Voter Registration Tool. It is currently in development.
In the run-up to the 2025 parliamentary elections we created a party match quiz to help people with a migration background find their preferred political party. It was available in 6 languages and hugely popular. As it is based on values rather than on short term policy statements, it provided an accessible first step for people who are not always very familiar with the Czech political scene. You can still take the quiz!
Every vote matters. Your participation shapes politics and impacts your community. Through real stories from new citizens, we highlight how your voice can make a difference and why your involvement is essential.
We offer clear, easy-to-follow guides on the Czech electoral process. Available in multiple languages, including Ukrainian, Vietnamese, and Russian, our materials ensure everyone can navigate voting with confidence.
Currently these instructions focus on voting in the parliamentary elections. For the 2026 local elections we will publish instructions later this year.
Explore our comparison of major pro-democracy political parties and their platforms, tailored to issues that matter to foreigners and new citizens. Understand your options and find the party that aligns with your interests.
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 Republic is a parliamentary democracy with a multi-party system. Voters elect representatives to the Chamber of Deputies every four years, and local and regional elections take place regularly too.
Understanding how it all works—from parties to preferences—helps you make your voice heard where it counts most.
This is a description of the national system, as it was in Spring 2025, before the parliamentary elections of October 2025. These elections brought in a new government, with a new prime minister.
