The 2024 European Parliament election in Slovenia was held on 9 June 2024 as part of the 2024 European Parliament election. This was the fifth European Parliament election held in Slovenia, and the first to take place after Brexit.[1]

Electoral system

[edit]

Compared to last election, Slovenia is entitled to one more MEP assigned in 2023 after a pre-election assessment of the Parliament composition based on the most recent population figures.[2] The 9 members are elected through semi-open list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with seats allocated through D'Hondt method and no electoral threshold.[3]

Both Slovenian and other non-Slovenian EU citizens residing in the country are entitled to vote in the European elections in Slovenia. No registration is needed for Slovenian citizens, while other EU citizens residing in Slovenia are required to register with the Ministry of Interior no later than 15 days before the election day. Slovenian citizens residing abroad can choose to vote by post, in the closest diplomatic or consular representation of Slovenia, or in a special polling station in Slovenia. In addition, those eligible to vote must turn 18 years old by election day at the latest.[4]
