The 2018 Slovenian parliamentary election Sunday June 03,2018
The elections were originally expected to be held on 10 June 2018, but after the resignation of Prime Minister Miro Cerar on March 14,2018, all parties called for snap elections. They were the third consecutive snap elections after 2011 and 2014.
According to the constitution, regularly scheduled elections should have been held no sooner than two months and no later than 15 days before the expiry of four years from the first session of current National Assembly.Elections were therefore expected to be held between 1 June and 15 July 2018. However, after the resignation of Cerar, elections will probably be held earlier, most likely 20 or 27 May 2018
The 90 members of the National Assembly are elected by two methods; 88 are elected by open list proportional representation in eight 11-seat constituencies; seats are allocated to the parties at the constituency level using the Droop quota. The elected Deputies are identified by ranking all of a party's candidates in a constituency by the percentage of votes they received in their district. The seats that remain unallocated are allocated to the parties at the national level using the d'Hondt method with an electoral threshold of 4%.Although the country is divided into 88 electoral districts, deputies are not elected from all 88 districts. More than one deputy is elected in some districts, which results in some districts not having an elected deputy; in the 2014 elections 21 of 88 electoral districts did not have an elected deputy.Parties must have at least 35% of their lists from each gender, except in cases where there are only three candidates; for these lists, there must be at least one candidate of each gender.
Two additional deputies are elected by the Italian and Hungarian minorities by first past the post voting
