National Assembly (Slovenia)

88 members are elected using the party-list proportional representation system and the remaining two, using the Borda count, by the Hungarian and Italian-speaking ethnic minorities, who have an absolute veto in matters concerning their ethnic groups.

There are three possible legislative procedures: Bills are normally passed by a majority of the present MPs.

If the session is held, the assembly must vote on the resolution if the bill is appropriate for a further procedure.

The Speaker determines a working body that will discuss the bill in the further procedure.

Assembly later votes and discusses only the articles that were amended during the session of the working body.

Bill can be passed under urgent procedure if it is important for the security or defence of the country, if it is addressing the consequences of natural disasters or it is proposed to prevent irreversible consequences for the country.

Urška Klakočar Zupančič (GS): 13 May 2022 - (incumbent) The 90 members of the National Assembly are elected by two methods.

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%.

Voters rank all of the candidates on the ballot paper using numbers (1 being highest priority).
