Prezident 21

Prezident 21 is an interactive website, created by the Czech mathematician and political activist Karel Janeček and his think tank, Institute H21, used to familiarise voters with a proposed system to select a presidential candidate for the 2018 Czech presidential election.^[1]

Operation[edit]

The software went live on 21 December 2016.^[2] Participants were allowed to nominate anyone except for the software creator, Janeček. Everyone who voted was allowed three positive votes and one negative vote.

Outcome[edit]

Over 3,000 people participated in the first few hours of the website's creation, after which Šimon Pánek was in first place. The incumbent president Miloš Zeman was last.^[3] Zeman's poor result was said to be most likely due to the fact that his supporters were less active on the Internet.^[4] By April 2017, Michal Horáček had taken the lead, and was then overtaken by Jiří Drahoš. The software developers announced a plan to conduct opinion polls through the software.^[5]
