The Slovak National Council resumed its parliamentary session in November 2026 following a two week hiatus. The session, which is scheduled to run through December 18, involves addressing approximately 200 undiscussed proposals. Key legislative items include amendments to the electoral law regarding voting methods for citizens abroad, changes to the Criminal Procedure Code concerning cooperating witnesses, and proposals to reduce the workload of the Constitutional Court. The Ministry of Justice has also submitted constitutional amendments to allow for the termination of a parliamentary term via referendum and the reintroduction of the judicial waiting list institute. Other matters include laws regarding judges, jurors, sports, and school network optimization. As the session progresses, opposition members have indicated that upcoming votes will serve as a test of the governing coalition's strength and the actual number of deputies supporting the government. Specifically, opposition MP Tomáš Szalay stated that the voting process will reveal the true number of deputies supporting the government. Debates have also focused on the Ministry of Justice plan to reintroduce a judicial trainee system to provide practical experience for future judges. This proposal has faced criticism from opposition members Zuzana Števulová of Progresívne Slovensko and Mária Kolíková of SaS, who argue the move may overlook existing judicial issues and potentially allow unqualified individuals into the system.
