Same-sex couples should be able to register their partnership legally.

Slovakia currently has no registered partnership, and the Constitution defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. In a Focus poll in February 2024, 51% supported registered partnerships and 45% were against.

Of the 12 parties with a position on this question: 2 in favour, 0 in between and 10 against.

Abortion should be more restricted than it is now.

Abortion is currently available at the woman's request up to the 12th week of pregnancy, and later only on health grounds. At least 48 hours must pass between the mandatory information given to the woman and the procedure.

Of the 12 parties with a position on this question: 2 in favour, 4 in between and 6 against.

Ethical issues such as marriage or adoption should be decided only by each country, not by the EU.

The constitutional amendment of September 2025 states that Slovakia retains sovereignty over fundamental cultural and ethical questions, such as the protection of life, marriage, the family, culture and language, and that nothing in the Constitution means consent to transferring these powers.

Of the 12 parties with a position on this question: 9 in favour, 0 in between and 3 against.

Possessing a small amount of cannabis for personal use should remain a criminal offence.

Possessing cannabis is currently a criminal offence: a very small amount carries up to one year in prison, and a small amount from six months to three years.

Of the 12 parties with a position on this question: 6 in favour, 3 in between and 3 against.
