The early parliamentary election in Slovenia in 2011 was held on December 4, 2011. When choosing the deputies of the National Assembly were re-determined. 1.7 million voters could decide on 88 of the 90 seats in parliament. Two seats were reserved for representatives of the Hungarian and Italian minorities.
It was the first early elections in the country's history since independence in 1991.
Prehistory
The premature dissolution of parliament were preceded by several months inconsistencies in the coalition partners and several resignations of cabinet members. The opposition accused the government of corruption and mismanagement. This eventually culminated in the center-left government of Prime Minister Borut Pahor expressed on 20 September 2011, the mistrust.
On 29 September 2011 then sat President Danilo Türk on an early election for the 4th of December 2011. The Parliament should be dissolved until 21 November 2011, Türk said.
Electoral system
The National Assembly was elected under the proportional method. There was a minimum threshold of 4%. Elections take place every four years.
Election result
The election ended with a surprising result: the Positive Slovenia party, founded recently by the former mayor Zoran Janković could unite with 28.51 %, the highest number of votes and thus became the strongest party. The major parties, especially the Social Democrats ( SD), were punished. The party New Slovenia ( NSi ) made it back to parliament. She was eliminated in the last election from the Parliament because they could not reach the required 4% of the vote.
Change of government in February / March 2013
On 27 February 2013, the Slovenian parliament said the former Prime Minister Janez Janša of the mistrust and chose Alenka Bratušek ( by then opposition leader ) to the new Prime Minister. They formed a new government; this was confirmed by the Parliament on 20 March 2013. A national anti -corruption agency had previously accused that he had not reported a fortune of 210,000 euros to Parliament Janša.
