[edit] Presidential elections

The information that Sládek's arrest allowed for Václav Havel's re-election is only partly true. If I remember correctly, Havel received a majority of one vote in the Chamber of Deputies (and a decisive majority in the Senate), with Sládek only getting some 20 votes. However, if no candidate were elected in the second round, the third round would follow, in which the votes from the both chambers are counted together and a majority of the voters decides; as a result, Havel would have been elected anyway. (Should no candidate get a majority in the third round, a new election would follow.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 10:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
