Elections were held in Slovakia's 8 self-governing regions on 4 November 2017.[1]

In 2017, deputies of the Slovak National Council voted to extend the term of governors from 4 years to 5 years, and change from a 2-round election to only 1 round.[2]

The turnout was around 30%, biggest in the history of Slovak regional elections.

Governor of Banská Bystrica Region and leader of the far-right People's Party – Our Slovakia, Marian Kotleba was defeated in the Slovak regional elections of 2017 by an independent candidate, Ján Lunter.[3]
