You can find the number of your electoral district by entering your address on https://volby.tmapy.cz/. The exact location of your polling station will be announced by the Ministry of the Interior 1–2 months before the election on https://mv.gov.cz/volby/.

When you go to vote, make sure to bring a valid ID card or passport, together with your Registration Certificate (temporary residence registration) or Permanent Residence Permit.
