c. Election Administration

The elections are administered through a decentralized, four-tier system involving multiple bodies at the national, regional, municipal, and precinct levels. At the national level, the process is overseen by the State Election Commission (SEC), chaired by the Minister of the Interior (MoI), and supported by the MoI, the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). At the regional level, there are 14 Regional Offices, 6,254 Municipal Offices, and some 14,700 Precinct Election Commissions (PEC).

(...)

The SEC is a permanent body composed of ten members, including three women, and is responsible for co-ordinating the conduct of elections and for announcing and publishing the final results."
