Slovakia’s July 4, 2026 referendum features two questions stemming from a citizen petition exceeding 350,000 signatures: abolishing lifetime annuities for officials who served at least two terms and restoring the Special Prosecutor’s Office plus National Crime Agency, both dismantled in 2024. President Peter Pellegrini scheduled the vote after excluding a proposed question on shortening parliament’s term as unconstitutional. Trader positioning centers on public sentiment toward the current coalition’s institutional changes, opposition mobilization around anti-corruption and pension issues, and the binding 50% turnout threshold required for validity. Recent developments include the April 2026 petition validation and formal decree, with limited polling available on separate passage of each measure. The short window before voting day leaves room for last-minute turnout efforts or legal challenges to influence outcomes.
