Majerský was born on 12 May 1971 in Levoča.[1] He graduated from the Catholic Faculty of the University of Prešov in 1997.[2] Majerský later worked as a teacher at St. František Assiský in Levoča from 1997 to 2014, having taught Physical Education and religious education.[1]
In 2014, Majerský ran for mayor of Levoča in the municipal elections. He was among four elected candidates with a vote ratio of 50.5%, himself receiving 2,370 votes.[3] Majerský ran with the support of the right-wing coalition KDH, KDS, MOST-HÍD, NOVA, OKS, #SIEŤ, and SDKÚ-DS.[4]
In May 2017, Majerský announced his candidacy for chairman of the Prešov self-governing region for the coalition of parties KDH, OĽANO, SaS, and NOVA.[5]
Majerský was elected chairman of the Prešov Region on 4 November 2017. With the highest voter turnout in the region (29.95%), he won in nine districts and received 40.4% of the votes compared to Chudík (Direction – Social Democracy) with 30.6% and four winning districts.[6]
In 2022, Majerský ran for the post of chairman of the Prešov region again, beating Michal Kaliňák with 111,343 votes (42.01%).[7]
On 6 May 2020, Majerský announced his candidacy for chairman of Christian Democratic Movement.[8] He was eventually elected as the only candidate who received 278 of the 326 votes of the delegates.[9]
Majerský was re-elected chairman at the movement's congress on 18 June 2022. He had no challenger and won the overwhelming majority of votes cast by 298 delegates.[10] In September 2023, Majerský became the electoral leader of the KDH after the 2023 Slovak parliamentary election.[11]

In an interview with Denník N, Majerský perceives Prosecutor General Maroš Žilinka visiting Russia to celebrate the anniversary of the establishment of the Russian Prosecutor Office as a problem: "Žilinka is a decent person who sometimesoverreacts. What disturbs me the most is his statement about going to Moscow to meet with the Russian prosecutor." According to Majerský, such a trip is not appropriate.[14]
On 3 September 2023, Majerský was accused of referring to LGBT as a "plague".[15] After politicians from other parties challenged him, Majerský apologised and clarified that the designation was not aimed at a group of people, but an ideology.[15]
