Comment
The electoral register is generated from the civil register (state citizens above 18 years) but the municipal office, which maintains the electoral register must update it and complete it – e.g. write in voters who are not Czech citizens and have the right to vote in the elections, remark voters who received voter pass or who decided to vote by the embassy, and voters who are legally incapacitated. (Method adopted in 1990)
