Negotiations regarding the new electoral law in the current provincial assembly had failed. The Democratic Party wanted to add 12 guaranteed seats in the parliament for national minorities next to the existing 120, but the proposal didn't reach much overall support. The League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina wanted to replace the parallel voting (60 through popular vote and 60 through representative) with the more ordinary party-list proportional representation, but that would require changing the Statute of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The present electoral law is favored by the Socialist Party of Serbia. In the second-round, SRS, DSS-NS and SPS-PUPS decided to cooperate.http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=05&dd=19&nav_id=50369 B92 - News - Politics - SRS, DSS forge alliance ahead of Vojvodina run-off 2008-05-19 https://web.archive.org/web/20080520185641/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=05&dd=19&nav_id=50369 2008-05-20 dead Lists approved by Provincial Electoral Commission 1.
