On the territory of Belgrade, voter turnout in parliamentary elections is slightly lower than in the rest of Serbia, amounting to 8,4 percent (margin of error 0,2).<\/p>\n
A total of\u00a06.502.307 citizens registered in the Voters’ List have the right to vote in republic elections.<\/p>\n
Nearly 10\u00a0percent of polling stations in Serbia and in Belgrade were opened with a delay.<\/p>\n
Observers report that 4 percent of polling stations were not prepared in accordance with established procedures, including 2 percent in Belgrade.<\/p>\n
All members of polling boards were not present at polls during the opening at a significant number\u00a0of polling stations in Serbia (17 percent), 19 percent in Belgrade.<\/p>\n
All activities of polling boards were not recorded in the Polling Board Records at 9 percent of polling stations.<\/p>\n

CRTA’s observers recorded two cases of “carousel voting” that the CRTA’s election observation mission will report to the police. In addition, so-called collective voting was recorded at one polling station in Belgrade.<\/p>\n
CRTA’s observers were prevented from monitoring the start of the voting process at 32 percent of polling stations, however, after the intervention of the Republic Electoral Commission, they were allowed to continue observation. Members of polling boards at 8 percent of polling stations do not adequately provide information about the voting process to CRTA’s observers.<\/p>\n
While polling stations in Kursumlija, Tutin, Bujanovac and Raska, designated for voters from Kosovo and Metohija, are not included in the CRTA’s sample for Serbia, CRTA’s observers collect the information at these polls. The large crowds were recorded at these polling stations, endangering the secrecy of voting due to inadequate voting conditions.<\/p>\n

CRTA reports about republic (presidential and parliamentary) and Belgrade elections, on the basis of two random samples, representative for Serbia (500 polling stations) and Belgrade (450 polling stations), totaling a number of 950 polling stations.<\/p>\n
