| Description | This paper discusses the regional and senate elections that took place in the Czech Republic in September 2024. The regional elections and the first round of the senate elections were held on 20 and 21 September. The second round of Senate elections was held a week later, on 27 and 28 September. Voting in Czechia traditionally occurs on Fridays and Saturdays. The text is divided into several sections. We first describe the electoral system and introduce the broader context in which these elections occurred. We then analyze the results in terms of both party support and turnout. Finally, we discuss the impact of these elections on regional and national politics. Our article is based on primary sources, official statistics, and media coverage. Given the recentness of the elections, more complete political science or constitutional law analyses are still to appear. |
