WHERE IN BRNO VOTE IN YOUR MUNICIPAL ELECTION
BRNO EXPAT CENTRE: EVENT AND RECOMMENDS
Elections to the municipal councils take place on the 5th and 6th of October, 2018. EU citizens with temporary or permanent residence can participate; both actively and passively – they can vote and they can be elected. If you are an EU citizen, over 18 years old, and you have your temporary/permanent residence card issued, you have a right to vote: firstly though, you have to be included in the electoral register at your relevant municipal office no later than 48 hours prior to the elections – i.e. 3rd October, 2 pm. To register, you need to visit your local town hall and hand in an application form. A note for those EU citizens who still haven’t had their temporary residence card issued: it takes the Immigration office about a month to do so. If you want to make sure you are eligible to vote in time for the elections, visit the Immigration office on Hněvkovského 65 soon. Find out your local municipal office as well as more information about the coming elections at www.brnoexpatcentre.eu.

WHEN FAMILY COMES TO VISIT At some point, you will have to become a guide to Brno for your family and friends. Gather the necessary equipment, and show them the best Brno has to offer. Start at the Tourist Information Centre on Radnická street. Your visitors can buy their souvenirs whilst you pick up the necessities: firstly, a Gourmet brochure which is full of reviews of the best pubs/bars/ restaurants and cafés in Brno. At first, your visitors would be all up for tasting some traditional Czech food. For that, Stopkova pivnice would serve well. When they’ve had a taste of some fatty pork and heavy dumplings, you can show your visitors the gastronomy Brno is proud of. Reach out to Gourmet for help. Secondly, pick up a “Brno – Guide to the city” brochure that contains two suggested routes through the city: follow one with your family on their first day, and send them to explore the second on their own on that afternoon you’ll need a break from each other. Or join a guided tour: book a spot through ticbrno.cz or just show up for Brno Free Walking Tour. For more ideas for trips, don’t hesitate to visit gotobrno.cz.
