The elections to the Council of Prague in 2010
Lišková, Markéta ; Vymětal, Petr (advisor) ; Lisa, Aleš (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with elections and electoral systems in the Czech Republic with an emphasis on local elections to the Council of Prague. The aim is to analyze the elections to this local council and explain the problems with its occurring in connection with the last elections in 2010. If there was not deliberate manipulation division of dividing constituencies in favor of the ODS. The first chapter deals with elections and electoral systems. The second chapter analyzes the elections in the Czech Republic. The third chapter deals with elections to the Council of Prague in 2010. Elections to the Council of Prague are held under the Act on elections to municipal councils, although Prague is also the county and municipality. The Council of Prague can legitimately divide Prague to more constituencies. Intentional manipulation cannot be demonstrated on the basis of election results, as are known in advance. The fact whether a party will be represented, only the voters decide. However, we can speculate about it, depending on the allocation of Prague to the smallest permissible option and the lack of proportional division into electoral districts.

Local Elections in 2010: the Case of Ceske Budejovice
Okrouhlý, David ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Dlouhý, Miloš (referee)
The goal of this thesis is an analysis of local elections in 2010 in Ceske Budejovice. I try to answer the question, which specific conflicts in the period 2006 - 2010 destabilized the situation in the town council and why the Civic Democratic Party supported other representatives to dismiss the mayor. From this perspective, it is important to determine if there was created an "opposition" group within the Civic Democratic Party in the observed period, which voted together with the opposition parties in the town council. Another question is, how intra-party conflicts reflected the electoral programs of the main parties and if the conflicts had an impact on the results of local elections in 2010.
