About this election
How the country is governed
Czechia elects its members of the European Parliament in a single nationwide constituency by proportional representation using the D'Hondt method, with a 5% threshold and optional preferential votes for individual candidates. In 2019 the country returned 21 MEPs. Because the whole country forms one district, European elections offer a relatively clean test of national party strength — though turnout is markedly lower than in domestic contests, which tends to reward parties with the most committed electorates.
