Presidential elections were held in Slovakia on 15 March 2014, with a second round on 29 March 2014.[1]

After a first round, in which no candidate secured majority, Robert Fico and Andrej Kiska qualified to second round. On 29 March 2014, Kiska won the second round of the elections after securing 59% of the vote, compared to Fico's 41%.[2]

Kiska succeeded incumbent Ivan Gašparovič, who was unable to run due to term limits established by the Constitution.[3]
