They had the right to vote, but the commission did not allow some EU citizens to do so.

During the municipal elections in the Czech Republic, EU citizens faced issues regarding their voting rights. Some were allowed to vote without problems, while others, particularly Slovaks, had to fight for their rights or were denied voting altogether. Bibiana Machková was not on the voter list despite being told to vote at her polling station. Similarly, Soňa Krajňáková was initially denied voting but was later allowed after verification. The Ministry of the Interior confirmed that voting was possible without prior registration, although it recommended it. Various approaches by electoral commissions led to confusion, with some voters not realizing they could vote without prior registration. A unified voter registry is planned for 2027 to prevent such issues in the future.
