See dashboard with visualizations, raw data and individual graphs.

IMPORTANT:
As of 18 January 2023, there are three interlinked dashboard versions.
The default one displays stats for election finalists (Andrej Babis and Petr Pavel, names highlighted in the table below).
The second dashboard shows all nine presidential candidates .
The third shows top Facebook Ads spenders (out of a pool of TOP 500 based on FB Ad library report).
You can switch between the dashboards by pressing the Duelists / Candidates / All button on the top of each dashboard.
