The electoral system of Slovakia

The President of the Slovak Republic is elected for a five-year term, and by popular vote since 1999. His role is limited, but not just ceremonial. The President has the power to nominate the Prime minister, to veto bills (unless confirmed by a two-thirds majority), and to nominate judges on the highest tiers of the judicial branch.

The President is elected through a two-round method.

For one's candidacy to be valid, the Constitution of Slovakia requires to collect 15,000 signatures of Slovak citizens or the support of 15 of the 150 MPs in the legislature. However, the office is limited to two terms.
