Volby pro všechny

You found your district's list. Now what do all those columns mean? 👇

A Czech candidate list looks intimidating for about four minutes. Here is the decoder:

1️⃣ The number of the list means nothing. Each list gets a number drawn by lot. List no. 1 is not the winner, the favourite or the first choice. It is a raffle.

2️⃣ The position inside the list means a lot. Seats are handed out proportionally, so the names at the top are the ones most likely to end up in the council room. Read the first five, not the fiftieth. (Voters can push someone up with preferential votes, but it takes a big margin.)

3️⃣ ""BPP"" = bez politické příslušnosti — no party membership. You will see it everywhere: nearly 89% of all candidates carry it. Standing on a party's list and being a party member are two different things.

4️⃣ Two columns that get mixed up constantly. Navrhující strana = who put them on the ballot. Politická příslušnost = what they belong to. They often do not match.

5️⃣ Age and occupation are there too. The average candidate is 48. The oldest in the country is 99. And 643 of them are 18 — first-time voters and first-time candidates in the same election.🔥

We do not tell you who to vote for, and we never will. We are saying it is a fifteen-minute read that decides four years of your street.

‼ The official candidate lists for Local elections came out on 26 August. They are final — nothing changes now. What is on them is exactly what you will see on the ballot paper on 9–10 October.

190,153 candidates. 22,552 lists. Somewhere in there is the handful of people who will decide about your school, your parking, your rubbish and the building site next to your window for the next four years.

The lists are public — but the official database is, well, a database. turns it into something a person can read: pick your town (or, in Prague, your městská část) and you get the lists standing there, the candidates on them and their programmes. It is a volunteer project — people enter and check the data by hand. 👏

Two things that surprised us when we looked at it:
→ Nearly 89% of all candidates are not members of any party. Most of the names on those lists are neighbours, not politicians.
→ In 1,842 municipalities there is only one list on the whole ballot. Prague has 24 for City Hall alone.

You do not need a Czech passport to look. Looking is free and it takes fifteen minutes.🤓

Quick quiz: what do a party founded in 1919 and a party founded in March this year have in common? 🤔

They're on the same page — our overview of the 17 most important Czech parties. 107 years apart, one scroll away from each other.

It's already the most visited page on our website, and we keep expanding it. So now it's your turn: which party or movement should we add next? What info should we add? Drop the name in the comments 👇

And share this with the friend who says Czech politics is 'too complicated'. We made the map so nobody has to say that again.

We made a page for everyone who has ever nodded along when Czech politics came up 🙋

Every major Czech party — all 17 — on one page: who's in government, who's in opposition, where each sits left ↔ right, and who they're running for Mayor of Prague this October.

Each card shows when the party was founded, what it stands for, how it did in the 2025 Parliamentary elections, and its plan for Prague 2026. In English and Czech. Tap, sort, compare.

Plot twist: it quietly became the most visited page on our website. Turns out nobody is born knowing Czech politics — everyone just needs a map.

Prague votes 9–10 October 2026. Know who's asking for your vote.

OK Prague, settle this in the comments 👇

🕰 A: 12,000,000 Kč for a clock even its author can't read
🚽 B: 220,000,000 Kč for 17 metro toilets (≈12.9 million each)

Which receipt is weirder — A or B?

Both were approved by municipal councils. Who sits on those councils gets decided on 9–10 October 2026 — and if you're an EU citizen living in Prague, you can be one of the deciders.

Next week: the Czech ballot — why it's a cross, not a checkmark ✏️"👀

A clock nobody can read: 12 million Kč. Seventeen metro toilets: 220 million. A lookout tower with no view — built with EU money, then torn down. 🧾

We went through the weirdest receipts of Czech municipalities — swipe to see where the money goes.

The point isn't that towns spend money. It's that municipal councils decide HOW — and voters decide who sits on those councils. Prague votes 9–10 October 2026, and if you're an EU citizen living here, that includes you.

Prague isn't one budget — it's the city, plus 57 districts, each with its own.

Look at the four districts where the most EU citizens live:
• Praha 10 — 1.88 bn Kč
• Praha 4 — 1.85 bn Kč
• Praha 3 — 1.50 bn Kč
• Praha 5 — 1.45 bn Kč

That money runs local schools, parks, street cleaning and grants — decided by your district council. Around 22,000 EU citizens live across these four districts. Almost none are registered to vote.

You can change that. Register, and you help choose who spends it.

119 000 000 000 Kč. That's Prague's city budget for 2026 — and it isn't abstract money. It's your metro ride, your kid's school, the park where you run.

Who decides how all of it gets divided? 65 people on the City Assembly. Every third koruna goes to transport, every fourth to schools and sport, a record 23 billion into building — metro D, new tram lines, bridges.

In October, Prague elects new ones. If you're an EU citizen living here, you get a say over those 119 billion. That's what a local vote actually is.
