In European elections, Slovenia is a constituency of the European Parliament, currently represented by seven MEPs. It covers the member state of Slovenia.

As of October 2007

The 2004 European election was the sixth election to the European Parliament. However, as Slovenia had only joined the European Union earlier that month, it was the first election European election held in that state. The election took place on June 13.

The biggest surprise was the victory of the New Slovenia party over the Liberal Democracy of Slovenia and the defeat of the Slovene People's Party, which did not win a seat. The parties on the right of centre that form the opposition in the Slovenian national parliament won this election.

The 2009 European election was the seventh election to the European Parliament. The number of seats was increased to eight.
