Had a general election taken place in August 2021, it would have been won by ex-premier Peter Pellegrini's Voice-SD party with 19.5 percent of the vote, ahead of the junior governing Freedom and Solidarity (SaS) party with 14.7 percent and the opposition Smer-SD party with 11.3 percent, according to a poll carried out by the AKO polling agency in mid-August. Another four parties would have made it into Parliament: the senior governing OLaNO party at 9.8 percent, extra-parliamentary Progressive Slovakia at 8.9 percent, junior governing We Are Family at 6.6 percent, and the extra-parliamentary Christian Democrats (KDH) at 6.3 percent. A total of 66.5 percent of respondents would have gone to the polls already knowing which party to select.
