Parliamentary elections were held in Slovakia on 8 and 9 June 1990 alongside federal elections . They were the first elections after the Velvet Revolution , and the first free elections since 1946. The Public Against Violence (VPN) party emerged as the largest in the Slovak National Council , winning 48 of the 150 seats. In the aftermath of the election, Vladimír Mečiar of the VPN formed a grand coalition with the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH). After a conflict leading to the dissolution of the VPN, the first Mečiar cabinet was brought down by a vote of non-confidence in the parliament. Ján Čarnogurský of the KDH became the new Prime Minister in April 1991.
Electoral system
These were the only elections with a 3% electoral threshold ; it was raised to 5% for the 1992 elections .
