Elections in Serbia are mandated by theConstitution and legislation. ThePresident 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, provincial or local elections, provided that a sufficient number of endorsements by Serbian voters is obtained beforehand. At least five days before the election, citizens are notified about the election, receive information about the day and time of the election, and the address of the polling station where they could vote. Voting takes place in polling stations in Serbia and abroad, monitored by an electoral board and observers at each station. During the election day, registered voters could vote from 07:00 (UTC+01:00) to 20:00, though if the polling station is opened later than 07:00, voting is then extended by the amount of time for which the opening of the polling station was delayed. Ballots consist of an election list with ordinal numbers (which are circled to indicate a vote). All votes are counted by hand by the members of polling boards. Depending on the type of the elections, national, provincial or local electoral commission publishes official results and handles complaints. Decisions of the electoral commissions may be appealed at theConstitutional Court.

The President of the Republic is elected for a five-year term by a direct vote of all citizens in amajority system, requiringrunoff elections if no candidate wins more than 50 percent of votes in the first round.

The deputies for the National Assembly are elected for a four-year term byclosed-listproportional representation from a single nationwide constituency.

Eligible voters vote for electoral lists, on which the registered candidates are present. A maximum of 250 candidates could be present on a single electoral list. An electoral list could be only submitted by a registered political party. To submit an electoral list, at least 10,000 valid signatures must be collected, thoughethnic minority parties only need to collect 5,000 signature to qualify on ballot. At least 40 percent of candidates on electoral lists must be female.^[2]

Seats are allocated using thed'Hondt method with anelectoral threshold of 3 percent of all votes cast, although the threshold is waived forethnic minority lists.^[3][4][5] Seats are awarded to candidates from electoral lists according to their order, starting with the first candidate from an electoral list.

It is possible for a snap election to take place.

All local elections in Serbia are held under proportional representation. Mayors are not directly elected but are instead chosen by elected members of the local assemblies (city/municipality assembly). The electoral threshold for assembly representation is three per cent (of all votes, not only of valid votes), although parties representing national minority communities are exempt from this requirement.
