Every four years, residents across the Czech Republic vote for new representatives at their local town halls.
Are you a citizen of the EU and live in Brno? Please come and elect the future government of your city in the municipal elections.
Even a single vote can change the future.
The right to vote applies to citizens:
- of EU member states,
- older than 18 years,
- with a permanent or temporary residence permit.
I am going to vote in the municipal elections in the Czech Republic for the first time
To be able to vote, you need to apply for entry in the annex to the voter list at the town hall according to your residency. You need to do so by 7 October 2026 (by 16:00).
- Fill in an application. There is no specific form – you must provide at least your name, surname, date of birth, citizenship, and your permanent/temporary residence address in the Czech Republic. A sample form can be downloaded from the Brno Expat Centre website, for example.
- Deliver it to your city district office either in person, or by mail (if you have a data box, you can send it electronically). The list of city districts and their addresses can be found here.
- The same city district office will inform you of where the polling station is and will issue the ballot papers to you. These can also be picked up in the polling station during the elections.
I have already voted in the municipal elections in the Czech Republic
If you have not changed your address since the last municipal elections, you are already entered in the annex to the voter list and can go and vote directly.
If you have changed your address, you need to register again (see above).
Election days: 9–10 October 2026
Please come to the polling station according to your residency – the list of polling stations can be found here.
Please bring a valid ID document (identity card, travel passport, permanent residence permit or certificate of temporary residence / registration certificate) with you.
You can cast your vote with the ballot papers you received at the registration. They are available also at the polling station.
