At a national level, Slovenia elects a head of state (a president) and a legislature. The president is elected for a five-year term by the people using the run-off system. The National Assembly (Državni zbor), Slovenia's parliament, has 90 members each elected for four-year terms. All but two of these are elected using the D'Hondt method of list proportional representation. The remaining two members are elected by the Italian and Hungarian ethnic minorities using the Borda count.

Slovenia's multi-party system means that any one party is unlikely to gain power alone. Coalition governments must therefore be negotiated and formed.

At an international level, Slovenia elects 9 members of the European Parliament. The MEPs term is five years.

In addition to the elections mentioned above, Slovenia organizes the local elections. Mayors of all 212 municipalities and members of municipal councils are elected. Local elections are held once every four years and have two rounds of voting.
