Recent research of the Czech Senate elections has shown that turnout is closely linked to political trust in the elected institution. This work aims to provide a deeper understanding of political trust in a particular institution, to find the factors that affect this trust, especially with regard to the implications for a voter turnout. A method of semi-structured interviews conducted with the sample of citizens who were eligible to participate in the Senate 2020 elections is employed.
