Background

The Slovakian government and the European Union have clashed over domestic legal reforms.^[3]

Electoral system

Compared to last election, Slovakia is entitled to two more MEP: one already assigned in 2020 in the occasion of the redistribution post Brexit, and one assigned in 2023 after a pre-election assessment of the Parliament composition based on the most recent population figures.^[4] The 15 members are elected through semi-open list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with seats allocated through largest remainder method and a 5% electoral threshold.^[5]

Both Slovakian citizens and other non-Slovakian EU citizens residing in the country are entitled to vote in the European elections in Slovakian. No registration is needed for Slovakian citizens, while other EU citizens residing in Slovakia are required to register in their municipality no later than 40 days before the election day. Slovakian citizens residing abroad cannot vote from abroad but can vote if present on the day of the election in Slovakia with a Slovakian passport. In addition, those eligible to vote must turn 18 years old by election day at the latest.^[6]
