Kranj, officially known as the 1st 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 Bled, Bohinj, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Cerkno, Gorenja Vas–Poljane, Gorje, Idrija, Jesenice, Jezersko, Kamnik, Komenda, Kranj, Kranjska Gora, Naklo, Preddvor, Radovljica, Šenčur, Škofja Loka, Tržič, Železniki, Žiri and Žirovnica. 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 208,971 registered electors.

History The 1st constituency (Kranj) 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 Idrija, Jesenice, Kamnik, Kranj, Radovljica, Škofja Loka and Tržič.

Following the re-organisation of municipalities in October 1994, parts of Idrija municipality were transferred to the newly created Cerkno municipality; parts of Jesenice municipality were transferred to the newly created Kranjska Gora municipality; parts of Kranj municipality were transferred to the newly created municipalities of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Naklo, Preddvor and Šenčur; parts of Radovljica municipality were transferred to the newly created municipalities of Bled and Bohinj; and parts of Škofja Loka municipality was split into the newly created municipalities of Gorenja Vas–Poljane, Železniki and Žiri.

In August 1998 parts of Jesenice municipality were transferred to the newly created Žirovnica municipality; parts of Kamnik municipality were transferred to the newly created Komenda municipality; and parts of Preddvor municipality were transferred to the newly created Jezersko municipality. Gorje municipality was created from parts of Bled 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 Kranj constituency as consisting of the municipalities of Bled, Bohinj, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Cerkno, Gorje, Gorenja Vas–Poljane, Idrija, Jesenice, Jezersko, Kamnik, Komenda, Kranj, Kranjska Gora, Naklo, Preddvor, Radovljica, Šenčur, Škofja Loka, Tržič, Železniki, Žiri and Žirovnica.

Electoral system Kranj 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).

Electoral districts Kranj is divided into 11 electoral districts:

1. Jesenice - municipalities of Jesenice, Kranjska Gora and Žirovnica. 2. Radovljica 1 - municipalities of Bled, Bohinj (except part of Nemški Rovt) and Gorje. 3.
