⏱️ Delayed

Voters are choosing local and regional representatives today across the country. Prime Minister Robert Fico was among the early voters, casting his ballot before a technical hitch in one municipality shifted the national schedule. In one municipality, a polling station failed to open on time, and voting in the village of Breziny will last an additional half hour. Because of the delay, the election moratorium will be extended across the country. Away from the ballot boxes, a manufacturing plant in Hriňová was largely destroyed by fire. The loss of technology and equipment is estimated to cost several million euros.
