Summary/Abstract: Electoral reforms are often the subject of political debate, as their implementation can significantly affect political entities, voter behaviour, as well as the representativeness of political processes. The current political scene in Slovakia is marked by intense debates over possible changes to the electoral system, highlighting the need to make democracy and political processes more effective. The aim of the article is to analytically examine the proposal for modifying the electoral quorum, promoted by the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic following the parliamentary elections in 2023. The article also assesses the potential political and systemic consequences of implementing this reform for the stability and functioning of the Slovak political system.
