* [[2024 Slovak presidential election]]
** The [[Upper Hungary#Modern usage|Hungarian-majority communities in the South]] had been stronghold for the liberal-leaning candidates, who ran against the candidates endorsed by the nationalist [[People's Party – Movement for a Democratic Slovakia|HZDS]], [[Direction – Social Democracy|Smer]] and [[Slovak National Party|SNS]] parties, up to that election. In the run-off, the majority of the Hungarians supported [[Peter Pellegrini]] who was supported by Smer over [[Ivan Korčok]] who was backed by most liberal parties and by sitting president [[Zuzana Čaputová]] who won the Hungarian vote herself in [[2019 Slovak presidential election|2019]]. Pellegrini was also the first nationalist-backed candidate to win since [[2009 Slovak presidential election|2009]].
