Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses the regulation of election campaigns in the Czech Republic. Particular attention is paid to changes brought on by ‘unifying’ Act No. 322/2016 Sb., which amends all Czech electoral laws. The relevant case law of higher Czech courts, which in many respects specifies the concept of an election campaign, does not go unnoticed. At the end, the text presents flaws in effective regulation which may adversely affect the real impact of the legal regulation on the conduct of candidates during elections.
