About this election
How the country is governed
The President of Czechia is directly elected for a five-year term (renewable once) by a two-round majority system. Though the office is largely ceremonial, it confers significant soft power and real prerogatives — naming the prime minister and constitutional judges, vetoing laws and representing the country abroad. The 2023 election, the third under direct election, was effectively a contest over Czechia's geopolitical orientation, held against the backdrop of Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine and an energy and cost-of-living crisis.
