This report addresses the decline in voter turnout in the Czech Republic, particularly among young people, those with lower levels of education, and socially disadvantaged citizens—posing a threat to equal political representation and democratic legitimacy.
Individuals with higher education, economic stability, political interest, and ties to political parties or trade unions are more likely to vote. The lowest turnout is found among the unemployed, young people, and those who lack trust in democracy.
Strengthen civic education, invest in inclusive schooling, regulate debt enforcement, restore trust in public services, and support the legitimacy of trade unions as democratic actors.
