The incumbent took the oath before the National Assembly on 22 Dec 2022 and began the five-year term on 23 Dec 2022 (RTV SLO, rtvslo.si article 651994, 23 Dec 2022), so the term expires on 22 Dec 2027. ZVPR art. 4 (and Constitution art. 103): the election 'morajo biti opravljene najkasneje petnajst dni pred iztekom petletne mandatne dobe' - by Tue 7 Dec 2027. Polling day is a Sunday or another work-free day (art. 6). If no candidate wins a majority of valid votes the vote is repeated between the top two 'najkasneje enaindvajset dni po prvem glasovanju' (arts. 23-24); read as the whole election, the latest Sunday for the second round is 5 Dec 2027 and, with the 21-day gap used in 2022 (23 Oct and 13 Nov 2022, DVK 2022 page), the latest first round is 14 Nov 2027. These LATEST dates are used here; recent practice was earlier (2022: late October). The Speaker of the National Assembly calls the election 135 to 75 days before the term expires (ZVPR art. 5), i.e. between 9 Aug and 8 Oct 2027, with polling 60-90 days after the calling date; in 2022 the decree of 20 Jul 2022 (Uradni list RS 97/22) set polling for 23 Oct 2022 with tasks from 22 Aug 2022. Early-election risk: if the mandate ends early, the election must be held within 105 days (ZVPR art. 4).",
