A parliamentary election was held in the Republic of Slovenia in April 1990. This was the first direct democratic and multi-party election in Slovenia after World War II. It was actually a transitional phase leading to the true democratic election on 6 December 1992, by which time Slovenia had already gained its independence.[1]

On 8 April 1990, 80 delegates to the Sociopolitical Chamber and 80 delegates to the Chamber of Communes of the Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia were elected. On 12 April 1990, 80 delegates to the Chamber of Associated Labour were elected.[2] More than 55% of the vote for the Sociopolitical Chamber went to the DEMOS coalition, formed by newly-established parties of the Slovenian Spring. The United List of Social Democrats emerged as the largest party in the Sociopolitical Chamber, winning 14 seats.[3]
