On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, Speaker of the National Council of the Slovak Republic Richard Raši officially announced the date of the combined municipal and regional elections. Elections to the self-government bodies of municipalities and elections to the bodies of self-governing regions will be held on Saturday, October 24, 2026. interez.sk ↗
On a single day, voters in Slovakia will elect mayors, municipal and city council members, as well as the chairs and members of self-governing regional councils. According to published information, it is not possible to obtain a voting certificate for this type of election, which means voters will cast their ballots at their place of permanent residence. ta3.com ↗
The announcement of the date comes at a time when political parties are preparing for the autumn contest in the regions. New data on party preferences is also part of the broader political context. According to several reputable agencies, Progressive Slovakia has led public opinion polls roughly since summer 2024, though in recent months its lead over Smer has been narrowing slightly. The state published another poll that brought surprising figures and, after two years, indicated a resurgence of Smer. aktuality.sk ↗
The upcoming developments will therefore focus on the formation of candidate lists, local coalitions, and regional campaigns. The combined elections will be an important test of support for parties as well as independent candidates outside national politics. hnonline.sk ↗
