At the 2022 parliamentary election the constituency had 218,504 registered electors.

History

The 6th constituency (Novo Mesto) was one of the eight constituencies established by the Determination of Constituencies for the Election of Deputies to the National Assembly Act (ZDVEDZ) (Zakon o določitvi volilnih enot za volitve poslancev v državni zbor (ZDVEDZ)) passed by the Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia (Skupščina Republike Slovenije) in September 1992.[4] It consisted of the municipalities of Brežice, Črnomelj, Hrastnik, Krško, Laško, Metlika, Novo Mesto, Sevnica, Trbovlje, Trebnje and Zagorje ob Savi.[4]

Following the re-organisation of municipalities in October 1994, parts of Črnomelj municipality were transferred to the newly created Semič municipality; parts of Laško municipality were transferred to the newly created Radeče municipality; and parts of Novo Mesto municipality were transferred to the newly created municipalities of Šentjernej and Škocjan.[5][6]

In August 1998 parts of Novo Mesto municipality were transferred to the newly created municipalities of Dolenjske Toplice, Mirna Peč and Žužemberk.[6] In June 2006 parts of Krško municipality were transferred to the newly created Kostanjevica na Krki municipality; parts of Novo Mesto municipality were transferred to the newly created municipalities of Šmarješke Toplice and Straža; and parts of Trebnje municipality were transferred to the newly created municipalities of Mokronog-Trebelno and Šentrupert.[7][6][8] Mirna municipality was created from parts of Trebnje municipality in February 2011.[9]

The municipalities of Litija and Šmartno pri Litiji were transferred from Ljubljana Bežigrad constituency to Novo Mesto constituency in February 2021.[10]

In February 2021 the National Assembly passed Amendments and Supplements to the Determination of Constituencies for the Election of Deputies to the National Assembly Act (ZDVEDZ-B) (Zakon o spremembah in dopolnitvah Zakona o določitvi volilnih enot za volitve poslancev v državni zbor (ZDVEDZ-B)) which defined the Novo Mesto constituency as consisting of the municipalities of Brežice, Črnomelj, Dolenjske Toplice, Hrastnik, Kostanjevica na Krki, Krško, Laško, Litija, Metlika, Mirna, Mirna Peč, Mokronog-Trebelno, Novo Mesto, Radeče, Semič, Šentjernej, Šentrupert, Sevnica, Škocjan, Šmarješke Toplice, Šmartno pri Litiji, Straža, Trbovlje, Trebnje, Zagorje ob Savi and Žužemberk.[10]

Electoral system

Novo Mesto currently elects 11 of the 90 members of the National Assembly using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system.[11][12] Each constituency is divided into 11 electoral districts (volilni okraji) in which each party stands a single candidate.[13][14] Electors vote for a candidate of their choice in their electoral district and then the votes received by each party's candidates are aggregated at the constituency level.[13]

Allocation of seats was carried out in two stages.[15] In the first stage, seats are allocated to parties at the constituency level using the Droop quota (Hare quota prior to 2006).[16][17][18] In the second stage, unallocated seats from the first stage are aggregated at the national level and allocated to parties using the D'Hondt method (any seats won by the party at the constituency level are subtracted from the party's national seats).[18][19] Though calculated nationally, national seats are allocated at the constituency level.

Since 2000, only parties that reach the 4% national threshold compete for seats at both constituency and national levels.[20][21] Prior to this there was no threshold at the constituency level but parties needed to reach 388 (c3.4%) to compete for seats at the national level.[18]

Seats won by each party in a constituency are allocated to the candidates with the highest percentage of votes.[22] As a consequence, multiple candidates may be elected from an electoral district whilst others may have no candidates elected.[13] Prior to 2000 parties had the option to have up to 50% of their national seats allocated in the order they appear on their party list (closed list).[13]
