Czech Social Democratic Party
The 2012 Regional Council Elections (cz. Volby do krajských zastupitelstev) were held on the 12th and 13th of October in all administrative regions (cz. Kraje) of the Czech Republic, with the exception of Prague. The election was won by the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD), which received the most votes in 9 of the 13 regions despite experiencing a significant drop in voter share overall.
Background
The previous regional election in 2008 had been won by the ČSSD, who had received the most votes in all participating regions. In the months leading up to the 2012 election support for them decreased, though according to polls they still remained in the lead. Similarly, the center right Civic Democratic Party (ODS) had decreased in popularity. This is likely the result of increasing loss of confidence in the traditional established parties that led to more voters choosing to support non-parliamentary, less powerful parties. Perhaps as a result of this trend, the Czech Communist Party (KSČM), which had been largely politically marginalized since the Velvet Revolution, had seen an increase in support according to polls.
