Ljubljana Center, officially known as the 3rd constituency (), is one of the eight multi-member constituencies (electoral units) of the National Assembly, the national legislature of Slovenia. The constituency was established in 1992 following Slovenia's independence from Yugoslavia. It consists of the municipalities of Bloke, Borovnica, Brezovica, Cerknica, Dobrova–Polhov Gradec, Horjul, Ig, Log-Dragomer, Logatec, Loška Dolina, Medvode, Škofljica, Velike Lašče, Vodice and Vrhnika, and parts of the municipality of Ljubljana. The constituency currently elects 11 of the 90 members of the National Assembly using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2026 parliamentary election the constituency had 221,727 registered electors.
History The 3rd constituency (Ljubljana Center) was one of the eight constituencies established by the Determination of Constituencies for the Election of Deputies to the National Assembly Act (ZDVEDZ) () passed by the Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia () in September 1992. It consisted of the municipalities of Cerknica, , Ljubljana Vič-Rudnik, , Logatec and Vrhnika.
Following the re-organisation of municipalities in October 1994, parts of Cerknica municipality were transferred to the newly created Loška Dolina municipality; Ljubljana-Center municipality was transferred to the newly created Ljubljana municipality; Ljubljana Vič-Rudnik municipality was transferred to the newly created municipalities of Brezovica, Dobrova–Horjul–Polhov Gradec, Ig, Ljubljana, Medvode, Škofljica and Velike Lašče; Ljubljana Šiška municipality was transferred to the newly created municipalities of Ljubljana, Medvode and Vodice; and parts of Vrhnika municipality were transferred to the newly created Borovnica municipality.
In August 1998 parts of Loška Dolina municipality were transferred to the newly created Bloke municipality whilst Dobrova–Horjul–Polhov Gradec municipality was split into the municipalities of Dobrova–Polhov Gradec and Horjul. Log-Dragomer municipality was created from parts of Vrhnika municipality in June 2006.
In February 2021 the National Assembly passed Amendments and Supplements to the Determination of Constituencies for the Election of Deputies to the National Assembly Act (ZDVEDZ-B) () which defined the Ljubljana Center constituency as consisting of the municipalities of Bloke, Borovnica, Brezovica, Cerknica, Dobrova–Polhov Gradec, Horjul, Ig, Log-Dragomer, Logatec, Loška Dolina, Medvode, Škofljica, Velike Lašče, Vodice and Vrhnika, and parts of the municipality of Ljubljana.
Electoral system Ljubljana Center currently elects 11 of the 90 members of the National Assembly using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. Each constituency is divided into 11 electoral districts () in which each party stands a single candidate. Electors vote for a candidate of their choice in their electoral district and then the votes received by each party's candidates are aggregated at the constituency level.
Allocation of seats was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, seats are allocated to parties at the constituency level using the Droop quota (Hare quota prior to 2006). In the second stage, unallocated seats from the first stage are aggregated at the national level and allocated to parties using the D'Hondt method (any seats won by the party at the constituency level are subtracted from the party's national seats). Though calculated nationally, national seats are allocated at the constituency level.
Since 2000, only parties that reach the 4% national threshold compete for seats at both constituency and national levels. Prior to this there was no threshold at the constituency level but parties needed to reach (c3.4%) to compete for seats at the national level.
Seats won by each party in a constituency are allocated to the candidates with the highest percentage of votes. As a consequence, multiple candidates may be elected from an electoral district whilst others may have no candidates elected. Prior to 2000 parties had the option to have up to 50% of their national seats allocated in the order they appear on their party list (closed list).

1. Logatec - municipalities of Bloke, Cerknica, Logatec and Loška Dolina. 2. Vrhnika - municipalities of Borovnica, Log-Dragomer and Vrhnika. 3.
