The change in the Slovak electoral legislation from September 2019 was meant to prevent judges from travelling back and forth between politics and law. The new rules require that judges give up their office to run for a parliamentary election. This contribution reviews the rules on the political activity of judges in Slovakia from 1993 onwards and contextualises this most recent development.
