CeSID je objavio novu analizu pod nazivom „Rešavanje izbornih sporova – lokalni izbori 2026“, koja pruža pregled postupaka zaštite izbornih prava tokom lokalnih izbora održanih u martu 2026. godine. Analiza je zasnovana na podacima dostupnim na sajtu Republičke izborne komisije i obuhvata ukupno 60 postupaka u svim fazama izbornog procesa, uz dodatnih 20 postupaka po žalbama koji su posredno analizirani.

Nalazi pokazuju da je najveći broj prigovora podnet pre izbornog dana i na sam izborni dan, dok su postizborne žalbe bile retke. Najviše postupaka zabeleženo je u Knjaževcu i Majdanpeku, dok je većina prigovora dolazila od podnosilaca proglašenih izbornih lista i birača. Analiza posebno ukazuje na problem dokazivanja izbornih nepravilnosti. Čak 33 od 60 analiziranih prigovora nije sadržalo nijedan dokaz, uprkos tome što je dostavljanje dokaza zakonski obavezno. Istovremeno, praksa izbornih komisija pokazuje značajnu neujednačenost u postupanju po takvim prigovorima. 

Ukupno posmatrano, usvojeno je svega 15% prigovora, dok je najveći broj odbijen ili odbačen. Nalazi ukazuju i na potrebu jasnijeg normativnog definisanja standarda dokazivanja u postupcima zaštite izbornih prava.

Pored analize, CeSID je pripremio i prateći infografik sa pregledom ključnih podataka i trendova u procesu rešavanja izbornih sporova.

CeSID has published a new analysis titled “Resolving Electoral Disputes – Local Elections 2026”, providing an overview of electoral dispute resolution mechanisms during the local elections held in March 2026. The analysis is based on data available on the website of the Republic Electoral Commission and covers a total of 60 procedures across all phases of the electoral process, alongside an additional 20 appeal procedures examined indirectly.

The findings show that the majority of complaints were submitted before election day and on election day itself, while post-election complaints were relatively rare. The highest number of cases was recorded in Knjaževac and Majdanpek, while most complaints were filed by proponents of proclaimed electoral lists and voters.

The analysis particularly highlights the issue of evidentiary standards in electoral dispute resolution. As many as 33 out of 60 analyzed complaints contained no supporting evidence, despite evidence being a legally required element for the validity of complaints. At the same time, the practice of electoral commissions revealed significant inconsistencies in handling such cases.

Overall, only 15% of complaints were upheld, while the majority were either rejected or dismissed. The findings further point to the need for clearer legal standards regarding admissible and sufficient evidence in procedures for the protection of electoral rights.

Alongside the analysis, CeSID has also prepared an accompanying infographic presenting key findings and trends related to electoral dispute resolution.
