Slovenia is preparing for local elections scheduled for November 15, 2026, across all 212 municipalities. The process began with a signature collection period in September, with a potential second round for mayoral races set for November 29.

In Maribor, pre-election debates are scheduled to address municipal issues such as traffic management, public spending, and the development of a planned incinerator in Rotovž. Media outlets have established coverage protocols to monitor candidate activities throughout the campaign period.

In other municipalities, specific candidates have emerged. In Domžale, incumbent Mayor Renata Kosec is seeking re-election against five challengers, including representatives from Gibanje Svoboda, SDS, and the Social Democrats. In Ljutomer, three candidates—incumbent Olga Karba, Niko Miholič, and Romana Fišinger—are competing, with platforms focusing on infrastructure, demographics, and economic development.
