Do you know that EU citizens who have a residence in Prague can vote in upcoming municipal elections on September 23 and 24?
Here is what you need to do if you want to vote (and you have a residence in Prague 10):
1) In municipal elections, a voter can be anyone who is at least 18 years old, is citizen of EU member state and has residence (in our case) in Prague 10.
2) Expats then need to register at the municipal office until Wednesday September 21 (the municipal office of Prague 10 is located at Vršovická 68, Prague 10). You can do it both in person or in writing. (Opening hours are Monday and Wednesday: 8:00 – 12:00 and 13:00 – 17:30 and Thursday 8:00 – 12:00). You can find more information here: https://www.mvcr.cz/volby/clanek/for-foreigners-voters.aspx.
3) Voila! After succesful registration, you can vote :). Municipal elections are taking place on September 23 and 24. You can vote to the entire city coucil as well as to councils of Prague districts (e.g. Prague 10).
4) If you are considering who to vote, the coalition Solidarita (Solidarity) of Greens, Social democrats and movements Budoucnost (Future) and Idealiste (Idealists) candidates both in entire Prague and as Solidarita pro Prahu 10 (Solidarity for Prague 10) in Prague 10 district.
We would like to get inspired by cities such as Copenhagen, Vienna, Berlin or Paris. We believe that housing is a right, not business, that caregivers deserve support and every person, at any stage of life or with any disadvantage, should be able to maintain his quality of life and human dignity and we strive for greener city adapted to climate change.
