In post-communist countries, governing parties have been experiencing large electoral losses since the democratic transition. The change in government support is usually explained by a change in economic conditions and living standards, or by the corruption of incumbents. Recent elections, however, took place in a specific context of the Covid-19 pandemic. This situation questions the power of standard retrospective voting explanations. Academic literature shows that government parties experienced a modest increase in support of approximately 3 to 4 percentage points in the first months after a pandemic (Bol et al. 2021; de Vriese et al. 2021). In the longer term, however, the support of the governing parties is changing in connection with the measures taken by the governments (Herrera et al. 2021). Most of the existing literature on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is based on data from the first months of the pandemic, which show short-term effects on the support of government parties, or use aggregated data to examine the impact of cases infected on election results (Baccini et al. 2021; Leninger & Schaub 2020; Sircar 2021). Therefore, we use data from the panel survey Life during the pandemic collected in the Czech Republic between March 2020 and the October 2021 elections. Specifically, we focus on how the support of government parties has been affected by the change in the working and financial situation of the people, life satisfaction, the experience with Covid-19 and the support (and compliance) of government measures.
