It Is Time to Change the Electoral System for Czech Municipal Elections
Bláha, Martin ; Brunclík, Miloš (advisor) ; Jüptner, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with the possibilities of changing the electoral system to Czech municipal councils. It is an analytical case study with elements of a policy paper, i.e., a set of recommendations intended especially for legislators. The thesis has two main goals: (1) to identify and summarize aspects of the electoral system that experts call controversial and (2) to suggest possible solutions that would mitigate or eliminate these controversial variables. The work comes with three alternative solutions for changing the electoral system: (A) minor modifications to the existing system, which will facilitate the possibility of election because of preferential votes, and at the same time prevent local governments from performing electoral engineering by purposeful modifications of constituencies; (B) a variably mixed fusion system identical for all municipalities and (C) combination of two systems: unlimited vote for municipalities with less than 2,000 inhabitants and an open PR system for larger municipalities.

Analysis of the change in the content of town hall periodicals after the municipal elections in 2018
Jebavá, Anna ; Lebedová, Veronika (advisor) ; Köpplová, Barbara (referee)
This bachelor's thesis addresses the transformation of the content of town hall periodicals after the municipal elections in 2018. The thesis is theoretically based on the amendment to the Press Act, which obliges publishers of local government periodicals to provide objective and balanced information. When creating the methodology, I was inspired by a study of the civic association Oživení from 2014, whose authors analysed 100 periodicals published by local governments in order to assess the balance of information provided and the degree of self- promotion of the management of these local governments. Using the method of quantitative content analysis, I analysed five Czech town hall periodicals. The aim of the work is to reflect a possible change in the content of town hall periodicals after a change in the composition of the political management of self-governing units, and thus to find out how much this composition affects the final product.
