Local referenda to take place alongside regional and Senate elections in 15 municipalities

Voters in 15 municipalities across Czechia will participate in local referendums alongside the regional and Senate elections starting today. Most of the referendums will focus on the construction of wind and photovoltaic power plants, while other issues include the building of senior homes, community centers, road bypasses, and mineral extraction. To be valid, at least 35% of registered voters must participate, and a decision is binding if it receives majority support and at least 25% of total voter approval. Most referendums will conclude by Saturday at 2 p.m.
