The voter could “recharge” the postal vote personally at the ballot box, politicians suggest

One of the important changes discussed by the government with ANO is that voters abroad, who cast a vote after the vote, would be able to reevaluate the election.

At the moment when the person who voted by correspondence feels that he was under pressure from you or that his tricks did not reach him, he will always reach me at the representative office. Lucie Potkov from hnut STAN described the principle of possible changes to the draft, to vote in advance, and the advance polling station will always have priority.

It is the darkness that we are discussing with the coalition, that there would only be this protection against family voting and various other influences, that it would be possible to vote to go to the embassy in person, and that choice would require a correspondence walkthrough, said the member of the Constituent First Committee House of Representatives for ANO Radek Vondrek.

The only one behind the fence is the freedom vote, there is the right, he said during the January debate on the proposal. He argued that the correspondence election will always be prone to a phenomenon similar to family voting, when lazy families agree to vote and the freedom of choice may be lost.

The change made by the coalition with the ANO movement could thus eliminate one of the objections of the opposition, which were heard during the first draft of the law, when its discussion was taken over by the opposition’s powerful obstruction.

Their peak was when f SPD Tomio Okamura managed to speak for 10 hours and 44 minutes. During his performance, he also perfected the speech of a certain Cuban scientist, Fidel Castro, who, when he was re-elected to the presidency in November 1998, spoke in front of the deputies for seven hours and 15 minutes without feathers.

Voices from abroad spread to the region?

He gave the right draft of the law, he is one, it could concern where the votes cast from abroad would be scattered.

Whether in two or in one region, so that the good votes from abroad actually spread to the five countries of the Czech Republic, explained Deputy Potkov.

Even this problem was changed by Vondrek as one of the fences of his movement, when the House of Representatives first fought for the correspondence election in January. As a problem, he announced that votes should be asked in two regions drawn from the two largest regions. This thing should change as well.

There was a tussle with the opposition about it, and it could be done in two weeks. At the meeting of the constituent first committee of the ODS parliamentary club, Marek Benda and the chairman of the Pirt club Jakub Michlek praised one with ANO. One is very correct, said Michlek.

Alena Schillerov, a member of the ANO club, points out that this does not mean that MPs of the movement for the law will raise their hand. ANO has so far failed to achieve that the correspondence election does not lead to elections to the House of Representatives in five years, which is the primary demand of the movement.

I don’t assume that we would support the law as a whole, but the debates are worth it to us, if it is left, we will respect it, agree on some amendments that will reduce the risks, declared Schillerov.
