2002 Serbian local elections

none A small number of municipalities in Serbia held local elections in 2002. These were not part of the country's regular cycle of local elections but instead took place in jurisdictions where the local government had fallen. Serbia introduced the direct election of mayors via two-round voting in 2002. Elections for local assemblies, which were previously held under first past the post rules in single-member constituencies, were 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.
