Origin and change after 1989

The elections to the Czech National Council first took place in July 1968.

After the country was formally federalized on January 1, 1969, the Czech National Council served as the legislative body of the Czech Socialist Republic, and later the Czech Republic . By the turn of the century, 85 of the 150 members of the ČNR were members of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia , 22 of the Czechoslovak Socialist Party , 22 of the Czechoslovak People's Party and 21 were formally independent.

In the course of the Velvet Revolution , the entire Presidium of the Czech National Council resigned on December 18, 1989. At the beginning of 1990 64 MPs were exchanged for political reasons by agreement between the old elites and the Citizens' Forum , and in June 1990 free elections finally took place. The legislative period was shortened to two years, so that elections were held again in June 1992.

The Czech National Council became the parliament of the independent Czech Republic on January 1, 1993 with the partition of Czechoslovakia .
