Elections for local community councils are being held in several municipalities and villages in the Vojvodina region in Serbia on Sunday, and in those places where opposition or independent candidates are on the lists, pressure on voters has been noticed, as well as organized voting, N1 learned.

In Ravno Selo in the municipality of Vrbas, where a high turnout is expected and where the candidates of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) traditionally win, several cars without license plates were noticed near the polling station.

One of the SPS candidates and former member of the Serbian Parliament, Marjana Maras, told N1 that they also noticed vans marked with white ballots, in which Roma residents were brought to the polls.

In the village of Basaid in the Kikinda municipality, where, in addition to the five candidates of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and five independent candidates, SNS activists are bringing locals to the polls on a „house-to-house“ basis, and an unusually large number of cars were also spotted.

As N1 previously reported, there was pressure on voters in that Banat village in the days before the elections, when flyers and gift packages with food products were distributed to locals.

The SPS party is in a coalition with the SNS at the State level.
