MPs resume debate on postal voting 

A debate on introducing postal voting for Czechs abroad resumed in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday. The debate was adjourned on Friday night after three days of filibustering by opposition parties.

ANO and the Freedom and Direct Democracy Party are vehemently against the bill on the grounds that it can be abused and have said they will obstruct its passage through parliament for as long as possible.

The ruling coalition, which wants the bill approved in time for the 2025 general elections, has enough votes to push it through. Czechia is one of the few states in the EU that do not allow postal voting.
