Due to time differences, voting abroad took place from Thursday, October 2, to Saturday, October 4, 2025. Among the first to vote were Czechs living in South American countries – specifically in Brasilia, Santiago de Chile, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires. At the opening of the polling station in Los Angeles, the Czech national anthem was played on the violin, while in Brussels, a voter from Kolín traveled to the polling station by bicycle, and in Moldova, the futsal national team cast their votes.

The largest number of voters cast their ballots in London, namely 2,064. In the British capital, there was enormous interest in voting and long queues, which significantly prolonged the counting of votes. A total of 3,009 citizens voted at four offices in Germany, 1,424 votes were cast in Bern, and just one less in Brussels.

The SPOLU coalition won the vote abroad, receiving a total of 39.26% of the votes. The Czech Pirate Party came in second with 28.24%, and the Mayors and Independents came in third with 21.48%.

A total of 27,945 valid votes were cast, with voter turnout reaching almost 80% of registered voters.

 

"Interest in the elections abroad was high, partly due to the significant number of Czech citizens who voted using their voter ID cards. The staff at the embassies also managed to process the votes received by mail properly and had no problems with the new instrument of postal voting," added Pavel Pešek, director of the consular department, which organized the elections abroad.
