A parliamentary election for the 90 deputies to the National Assembly of Slovenia will be held on 13 July 2014.

Background

After the last election, a right-leaning five-party coalition government was formed, composing of the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), Civic List (DL), Democratic Party of Pensioners of Slovenia (DeSUS), Slovenian People's Party (SLS), and New Slovenia (NSi.) Janez Janša, the president of the SDS, became Prime Minister.

Janša's government collapsed on 27 February 2013 after he was accused of corruption. Janša was later sentenced to 2 years in prison, and fined €37,000.

A new government was formed by Positive Slovenia (PS), the Social Democrats (SD), DL, and DeSUS. PS leader Alenka Bratušek became Prime Minister.

On 25 April 2014, congress of Pozitivna Slovenija was held in Brdo pri Kranju. The main agenda was the election of the next president of the party. Two candidates applied for the post: previous president Zoran Janković and the incumbent Alenka Bratušek. Coalition parties SD, DL and DeSUS have threatened to leave the government if Jankovič were elected. Janković was indeed elected, and preliminary elections are highly likely.

On 1 June 2014 president of Slovenia Borut Pahor announced the dissolution of the Assembly on 2 June and that the election would take place on 13 July.

Janša's 2 year prison sentence began on June 20, a few weeks before the election

Opinion polls

Poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie, then no figure is shaded. The lead column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. Poll results use the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. However, if such date is unknown, the date of publication will be given instead.
