On Sunday, 3 October 2004, elections for deputies to the Slovenian parliament, called the National Assembly (Slovenian Državni zbor) were held. The Slovenian National Assembly has 90 seats. 1390 male and female candidates stood in the election, organized into 155 lists. The lists were compiled by both political parties and the groups of voters not registered as political parties. Five candidates applied for the seat of the representative of the Hungarian "national community" (as minorities are officially called in Slovenia) and only one candidate applied for the seat of the representative of the Italian national community. In the previous elections (2000), fewer than 1000 candidates on 155 lists applied.

[edit] Voting system
In Slovenia, elections in the National Assembly are held in eight voting units, each of which further divides into 11 districts. Different candidates apply in each of the eighty-eight districts. From each of eight units 11 deputies get elected, however not necessarily one deputy from each district (from some districts nobody gets elected, from others up to four candidates enter the parliament). Deputy's mandates are distributed at two levels: at the level of the voting unit and at the level of the state. In practice, at the level of voting units two thirds of mandates get allotted, while one third gets allotted at the level of the state. In this manner, 88 mandates get distributed. The remaining two seats are assigned to the representatives of the Italian and Hungarian minorities, which get elected separately (in the ninth and tenth voting units) by the Borda count. Altogether, 90 deputies get elected in the parliament. The election threshold for a party to enter the parliament is four per cent.
