However, the results are often reported at district level (which corresponds to the NUTS 4 level) or regional level (which corresponds to the NUTS 3 level). Prior to 1998, there were four electoral districts: Bratislavsky kraj, Zapadne Slovensko (West Slovakia), Stredne Slovensko (South Slovakia), Vychodne Slovensko (East Slovakia).These correspond to the NUTS 2 level.
