Voting ended at 8pm on Sunday in the elections for a new Serbian parliament, Vojvodina provincial Assembly and local elections in more than 60 places with a number of incidents and irregularities reported across the country.

Voting continued at a small number of polling stations after 8 pm to allow voters who were still in line to cast ballots.

Kosovo Serbs were bused across the administrative boundary to vote in polling stations set up for them in southern areas of Serbia. The same was done with voters from the Republika Srpska who had a rallying point in the Belgrade Arena where they were told which polling station they would vote at. An incident was reported at the Arena when opposition activists walked in, asking what was going on there.

The irregularities included claims of vote buying in at least one municipality. Several videos were published on social media showing men standing in front of polling stations which the video authors claimed were ruling party activists there to influence voters.

A total of 6,500,666 Serbians over the age of 18 were eligible to vote to elect MPs in the national parliament including 1,613,369 in Belgrade voting for the city assembly and 1,669,791 voting to elect members of the Vojvodina Assembly.
