Elections in Serbia are mandated by the Constitution and legislation. The President of the Republic, National Assembly, provincial (Vojvodina) and local (municipalities and cities) assemblies are all elective offices. Since 1990, twelve presidential, fourteen parliamentary and ten provincial elections were held.
Any Serbian citizen over age 18 may be a candidate in presidential, parliamentary or local government elections, provided that a sufficient number of endorsements by Serbian voters is obtained beforehand. Voting takes place in polling stations in Serbia and abroad, monitored by an electoral board and observers at each station. Ballots consist of an election list with ordinal numbers (which are circled to indicate a vote). All votes are counted by hand. Depending on the type of the elections, national, provincial or local electoral commission publishes official results and handles complaints, supported by county, city and town electoral commissions during local elections. Decisions of the electoral commissions may be appealed at the Constitutional Court.
Presidential elections
[edit]The President of the Republic is elected for a five-year term by a direct vote of all citizens in a majority system, requiring runoff elections if no candidate wins more than 50 percent of votes in the first round.

Parliamentary elections
[edit]The deputies are elected for a four-year term. The whole country is one electoral district. The 250 seats are then distributed between the lists using d'Hondt method. There is a minimum voting threshold of 3% so that only the party lists which get more than 3% of the votes are awarded the seats. There is no threshold for the ethnic minority lists.
