The governing coalition in Slovakia has proposed a change to the electoral code that would eliminate the option for mail-in voting in upcoming parliamentary elections. This shift means that Slovak citizens residing or staying abroad will no longer have the ability to participate in elections via mail and will be required to vote in person at their respective embassies. The detailed implications of this new regulation are still unclear, but the government has indicated a collaborative effort in this legislative change.

Last week, the Ministry of the Interior denied any plans to present such a proposal, which was eventually announced by Erik Kaliňák, a Member of the European Parliament and advisor to the Prime Minister, through a disinformation platform called Infovojna. Kaliňák's announcement emphasized that the change was a product of cooperation among the governing coalition, thanking the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their involvement and support in facilitating the proposed changes.
