Premature General Election on June 17 2006

Slovaks will go to the ballot boxes on June 17 - three months earlier than scheduled - in premature general elections as a result of collapse of the country's coalition government.

Originally, elections were to have been held in mid-September, but the leaders of all of Slovakia's parliamentary parties decided to advance the vote rather than try and patch up the government crisis.
