Only a small number of Czechs register to vote abroad

Meanwhile, thus far a low percentage of Czechs living abroad have registered to vote in the June parliamentary elections. In 2002, Czech voter turnout abroad was also minimal. In order for Czech citizens to vote in a foreign country, they must present themselves at a Czech embassy or consular office; mail-in ballots are not accepted, which presents a problem for those living far away from a Czech mission. However, Czech politicians agree that a mail-in ballot should be approved. Sunday is the last day for Czechs living abroad to register for the upcoming elections.
