1998 Slovak presidential election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1998 Slovak Presidential elections were held from 20 January to 17 December 1998. The Slovak parliament failed to elect the new president of Slovakia which led to the introduction of a direct election in 1999. A candidate would have needed to receive 90 votes to be elected.[1][2]
