1992 Estonian presidential election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Presidential elections were held in Estonia on 20 September 1992, alongside parliamentary elections.[2] As no candidate received over 50% of the vote, a second round was held in Parliament on 5 October 1992, in which Lennart Meri was elected. Voter turnout in the public vote was 68%.

This was the only time to date that an Estonian presidential election included a public vote. Planned direct elections for the head of state in 1934 were cancelled due to a coup, and after 1992 presidential elections reverted to being carried out in the Electoral College or in Parliament,[3] as had been the case in 1938.
