(1) Each embassy shall check as of 31 January of each calendar year whether the legislation of the state in which it is located allows the citizens of the Czech Republic to vote in the elections to the Chamber of Deputies. Each embassy shall also check whether a special permission is necessary to carry out such voting. If so, it shall apply for such permission.
