I WANNA vote!
HOT NEWS! YOU DON’T NEED REGISTRATION TO VOTE!
If you do not manage to complete your registration in advance, just show up at your polling station and they will let you vote - it is hot news! It is still recommended that you be registered – but you do not need to be registered to vote if you are able to complete your registration later. If you have friends that aren’t from Brno (expats, for example!) be sure they know about this: they can make their voices heard! You can take this letter explaining the purpose of your stay with you. Not all clerks speak English, so this could be helpful.
Remember to bring your certificate of residence and your ID, as the clerk will need to check it.
You can easily vote for your favorite party by making one cross next to the name of the party.
DEAR EXPATS AND IMMIGRANTS,
We're happy that Brno is becoming multilingual and cosmopolitan, due in part to people like you. We want to help foreigners coming to Brno, whether as visitors or residents, and we want everyone to feel here at home, regardless of where they're from.
If you share our goals and values, we hope that you will vote for us.
HOW TO REGISTER AND VOTE
➔ CAN YOU VOTE?
All EU citizens with residency in Brno can vote in the municipal elections. This applies to people with Czech citizenship (občanství), people with permanent residence (trvalý pobyt) and also people with temporary residence (přechodný pobyt).
➔ GOT YOUR CERTIFICATE OF RESIDENCE?
If you have your certificate of residence for an EU citizen, then you're just one district town hall visit away from becoming a voter.
If you don't have the certificate, then follow the instructions to get one.
➔ REGISTER TO VOTE
It is better to visit your district town hall by September 21st and register to vote.
Just print and fill out the voter registration form.
If you are not confident about your Czech language skills, consider printing out a letter explaining the purpose of your stay in Czechia. Not all clerks speak English, so this could be helpful.
Remember to bring your certificate of residence and your ID, as the clerk will need to check it.
The whole process should take about 5 minutes at home and 10 minutes at the town hall.
➔ SHOW UP AND VOTE!
Find your polling station and show up to vote on September 23rd (2pm-10pm) or September 24th (8am-2pm).
The voting process takes about 30 minutes and you can help your city and have your voice heard.
