Ministers to discuss allowing postal voting from abroad

At a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, the government is expected to discuss a parliamentary proposal to allow Czech citizens abroad to vote by post in elections. The Czech Republic is one of only four EU countries that currently do not allow postal voting, the others being France, Croatia, and Malta. However, France has allowed its citizens to vote online from abroad since 2020, while Czechia doesn't currently allow this option either. Czechia's neighbour, Slovakia, has allowed citizens abroad to vote by post in parliamentary elections and nationwide referendums since 2006.
