Allegations of Irregularities Prompt Election Challenge in Kosjerić
Coalition 'United for Kosjerić' seeks annulment of election results at specific polling stations citing evidence of electoral misconduct.
The leader of the 'United for Kosjerić' coalition has announced plans to request the annulment of election results at several polling stations in the Kosjerić municipality due to alleged irregularities.
According to Pantović, complaints have already been filed for two polling stations, with additional submissions expected by Wednesday evening, the deadline for lodging such complaints.
She stated that more evidence of irregularities has been uncovered at various locations, necessitating further action.
Pantović emphasized, "It is clear that the majority of residents voted for the 'United for Kosjerić' list.
We are currently reviewing all 29 records and have evidence that irregularities occurred in multiple polling places.
By tomorrow evening, we will submit new complaints with concrete evidence and request a repeat of the elections at all polling stations where discrepancies were noted."
Earlier, the coalition reported findings of duplicate voter registries and vote-buying at polling stations 11 and 21. Specific cases of concern included instances of individuals casting ballots who were not eligible to vote, and 324 people voting outside of the designated polling areas.
Irregularities were also reported at polling station 24, where election records were purportedly altered, and at polling station 25, where a person lacking voting rights allegedly participated in the election.
Official results released by the Republic Electoral Commission indicated that the list 'We Will Not Give Up Serbia - Aleksandar Vučić' received 3,686 votes and secured 14 mandates, while the opposition coalition 'United for Kosjerić' garnered 3,635 votes and obtained 13 mandates.
The Russian Party received only 48 votes and failed to meet the electoral threshold.
Voter turnout for the elections was reported at 84.17% of registered voters.
