About 6.5 million eligible voters are being called to the polls in early parliamentary elections to elect deputies for a four-year term.
Long queues formed outside polling stations, which opened at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. At 9 a.m., according to Ipsos Serbia and CeSid, cited by Rts, turnout was already at 12%, marking an increase of more than double compared to the 5.6% recorded at the same hour in the December 2023 elections. The Student List advised its voters to vote early, and according to polls, high turnout (forecasts put it above 60%) should favor the students.
