Abstract

The legislative framework for elections includes several laws that provide for free and democratic competition, equal campaigning, fair voting, and the transparent scrutiny of votes. Parliamentary elections are based on a proportional system that stipulates the following thresholds to qualify: 5 percent for single running parties, 7 percent for coalitions comprising two or three parties, and 10 percent for coalitions consisting of four or more parties. Elections to the EP use a proportional system. The minimum quorum to qualify for the assembly is 5 percent of the popular vote, which applies to both individual parties and party coalitions. Elections to local and regional self-governments use a modified majority electoral model. The Slovak president and regional governors are elected using a majority model with two rounds. The political system is multiparty based, with a total of 42 parties registered at this time. In 2005, the Ministry of Interior re-registered all political parties in Slovakia. 120 political parties were registered as of the end of September 2005; 78 of them failed to submit an application for re-registration before the stipulated deadline of October 1, 2005, and were subsequently deleted from the registry.
