Survey: Czechs showing scant interest in upcoming EP elections

Czechs are showing scant interest in the upcoming elections to the European Parliament, suggests a newly released Eurobarometer survey, which was carried out in the 27 EU member states.

According to the survey, only 28 percent of Czechs were interested in the European elections that will be held in June 2024. Some 60 percent of Czechs knew that the elections would be held next year and one third of respondents knew the election date. A similar lack of interest is reported from Slovakia.

The highest interest in the European Parliament elections was in the Netherlands with 69 percent, followed by Poland and Malta, with 68 percent both.

The survey was carried out in late September and early October among more than 26,000 people, including 1,013 respondents from Czechia.
