2024 Czech regional elections were held on 20 and 21 September 2024 to elect all 675 members of all 13 Czech regional councils. The regional elections are held together with the first round of the 2024 Czech Senate election.[1] The election resulted in landslide victory for ANO which won 292 of 675 seats and finished first in 10 of 13 regions.[2] Civic Democratic Party of Prime Minister Petr Fiala finished second with 106 seats. ANO didn't win in South Bohemian region, South Moravian region and Liberec region.[3]
Victory in South Bohemian region was viewed as the only large win for Civic Democrats. It was attributed to South Bohemian Governor Martin Kuba who was seen as biggest victor of regional elections as he won 47.5% of votes and majority in South Bohemian assembly.[4][5]
Czech Pirate Party was heavily defeated winning only 3 seats despite previously holding 99 seats.[6] Leader of the party Ivan Bartoš resigned as a result of electoral defeat.[7]
Elections are held in each region to elect its regional council, which is composed of 45 to 65 regional councilors, who will elect the governor of the region. Elections are held using open list proportional representation method, with a 5% threshold for both parties and coalitions in each region. The minimum age for both voting and candidacy is 18 years.[8][9]
