Ahead of the snap parliamentary election scheduled for 25 October, voter turnout is being cited as one of the key factors that will determine the outcome. Higher turnout in local elections in 2025 and 2026, despite victories for the ruling coalition, was seen by experts as benefiting the opposition, which came close to winning in several municipalities.
The last two parliamentary elections in Serbia, held in April 2022 and December 2023, saw almost identical turnout rates. Between 58 and 59 per cent of registered voters cast their ballots, amounting to just over 3.8 million people. Turnout in the 50–60 per cent range has also been the most common in Serbia from the mid-1990s to the present day.
