Abstract:

The main aim of the present thesis is to introduce the reader into the principles and issues of the topic chosen, Judiciary Protection of Elections in the Czech Republic. The first chapter deals with theoretical essential of the topic, such as the concept and function of elections, election procedure phases, electoral bodies, types of elections in the Czech Republic as well as general principles of electorship. In the second chapter I tried to explain some facts about the relation between judiciary and legislative powers that come quite close one to another within the area of electoral jurisdiction. The most important part of the paper resides in chapter 3 where electoral jurisdiction itself is being analysed. After a short historical introduction, the specific administrative judiciary procedures that are related to elections and its protection (protection in matters of the register of electors, protection in matters of registration, invalidity of elections and voting, protection in matters concerning the termination of a mandate, and protection in matters concerning a local or a regional referendum) are reviewed. In relation to this, not only the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic, seated in Brno, is studied. The functions of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic, seated in Brno as well, within electoral jurisdiction are not left apart either. The last chapter is an essay-like comparison of electoral jurisdiction in several countries as well as an overview of prospects. The text is completed with selected judgements of the above mentioned courts. The topic is very wide and its complete coverage would require a much detailed approach and much larger space than the diploma work actually offers. Nevertheless, I allow myself to say that the basic aim of the paper was achieved.
