2026 Czech municipal elections

Entities: Jiří Anděl · Zbyněk Toman · Tomáš Mach · Pavel Pacal · Jan Burda

Overview

In late July 2026 Czech media reported on the upcoming municipal elections scheduled for 9‑10 October 2026. Initial coverage focused on three towns – Krumlov, Nymburk and Třebíč – detailing candidate moves, coalition compositions and local priorities such as infrastructure upgrades and budget allocations exceeding 1 billion CZK.

A few days later the reporting broadened to include Blansko and Děčín, outlining incumbent mayors, challengers and council budgets ranging from 1.1 billion to over 2 billion CZK. The same update also confirmed the candidate list for Senate district 36 (Česká Lípa), naming ANO’s Jitka Volfová and other local figures, linking the municipal contests to the parallel Senate race.

Together the snapshots trace the expanding picture of candidate line‑ups, coalition dynamics and fiscal stakes across multiple Czech municipalities as the 2026 local elections approach.
