Slovak National Party Proposes New Regulations for Political Opinion Polls

The Slovak National Party (SNS) has introduced legislation to strengthen oversight of public opinion polls with political content. The proposed changes would transfer supervisory authority to the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic and introduce penalties for violations. SNS, a nationalist party that is part of Prime Minister Robert Fico's ruling coalition, argues the measures are needed to ensure greater accuracy and accountability in political polling. The move comes as Slovakia has seen frequent public opinion surveys during recent political campaigns and ongoing governance debates.
