Proportionality of the electoral system for the Chamber of Deputies Abstract Proportional system allocates to a party a percentage of seats equal to the percentage of the votes received in the election. Because of the indivisibility of seats and in the interest of the functionality of the elected body, full proportionality can never be achieved. However, its level can be significantly influenced by manipulating the variables of the electoral system. Because of the contradiction with the principles of proportional representation and the principle of equality required by the Constitution the Constitutional Court in its decision Pl. ÚS 44/2017 just eight months before the elections, it repealed important provisions of the Act on Elections to the Parliament of the Czech Republic, in particular the electoral formula and the additive closing clause for coalitions.

Voter turnout: Undecided individuals in public opinion surveys
Kovářová, Klára ; Chábová, Kristýna (advisor) ; Sedláčková, Markéta (referee)
This bachelor thesis is concerned with the identification of undecided voters in terms of voter turnout in the Czech republic. In this paper I call them "possible voters". In other words in preelection polls these individuals declare they are not decided whether they will vote or not. I use preelections polls that are part of continual reserach survey called "Our society" conducted monthly by The Public Opinion Research Centre in order to find out what is the percentage of these voters. This study is focused on the period between 1990 and 2013 and explicitly on general elections. The other aim of this paper is to describe how the percentage of possible voters varies among certain sociodemographics. Moreover, I try to discover what the key factors that might influence why these possible voters are undecided are. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
