99 Percent – Civic Voice[4] (Slovak: 99% – občiansky hlas, 99%) is a left-wing populist political party in Slovakia inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement.[5] It is jointly led by manager Alena Dušatková, radio journalist Pavol Pavlík, and lawyer and former police investigator Peter Vačok.[6]

According to opinion polls, the party was expected to gain parliamentary representation in the 2012 parliamentary election;[7][8] but it failed to do so, with only 1.58% of the vote.

The party's registration turned into a scandal when it was revealed that many of the 16,000 signatures submitted were discovered to be fraudulent.
