In an individual constituency, a voters' list is accepted if it is supported by at least one hundred voters with domicile in the constituency. Such a list can consist of a number of independent candidates or of one only, in which case he stands in all eleven constituencies. The law decrees that an individual person is allowed to be candidate at individual elections only once, he must give written consent, and it is not possible to withdraw a candidature. Electors have only one vote. The calculation is based on D'Hondt's system, except that the remnants of the votes are taken into account, a threshold is also set for the second round, and only lists the which have already obtained at least three direct mandates can take part in this distribution of mandates.
National lists play a role in allotting mandates or deputy seats on the state level.
The party may allot up to a half of the mandates obtained in the second round to candidates from the national lists, and thus influence the personnel structure of the National assembly. National lists, as other candidate lists, must be made public at individual polling stations, so that the voters know who will obtain their votes in cases in which the direct distribution of mandates does not take place. According to the latest information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are 28 political parties registered in Slovenia. According to the law on elections to the National Assembly only those parties which obtain the support of at least three National Assembly deputies may put up candidates in all constituencies. If this condition is not met, the party must collect 50 signatures from electors for candidature in each constituency when the list is formed from among its own members, and 100 when the list is not formed this way.
