2003 Serbian local elections

none A small number of Serbian municipalities held local elections in 2003. These were not part of the country's regular cycle of local elections but took place in certain jurisdictions where the local government had fallen. Serbia had introduced the direct election of mayors via two-round voting in 2002. Local assembly elections, which had been held under first past the post voting in single-member constituencies in the last regular cycle in 2000, were now determined by proportional representation with a three per cent electoral threshold. Successful lists were required to receive three per cent of all votes, not only of valid votes.
