In English, this is a more common way to say it than to say "cast votes for," is it not?
casting votes sounds like something a journalist may use but I usually go vote. Less poetic but probably more common.
In Czech is there a separate way to say "Today we are electing a new president"? Or is "volit" sometimes translated that way?

The English main translation leaves me wondering: If you would get rid of the "for", wouldn't make it more sense? As for now, I would assume that I vote for a presidential election to take place.
(I have to admit I don't know whether this is already accepted. Just asking.)
"Today we are voting a new president" does not work in English. "For" must be there. However, with a different verb, it is not needed and should not be there: "Today we ELECT a new president" is accepted.
