MPs Adopt Amendments to the Law on the Unified Electoral Roll and Lex Specialis on the General Staff Building

Of the 170 MPs present, 133 voted "for" 26 "against", and 11 abstained.

The amendments to the law are the result of a parliamentary dialogue on improving electoral conditions, which began in April 2024, based on reports from OSCE and ODIHR observation missions on elections in Serbia.

As stated in the explanation of the amendments, the dialogue was conducted in accordance with ODIHR’s first priority recommendation from the Final Report on the extraordinary parliamentary elections held on 17 December 2023.

The amendments, proposed by opposition MPs, provide for the establishment of a commission to conduct revisions of the Unified Electoral Roll (UER).

"The draft law proposes the establishment of a permanent commission tasked with performing periodic revisions of the Unified Electoral Roll, including determining the factual state regarding the management, maintenance, and accuracy of the UER, and overseeing the process of its updating, all with the aim of improving accuracy, as well as transparency and citizens’ trust in the UER", the explanation states.

Furthermore, the revision of the electoral roll will be carried out by the Commission for the Revision, Verification, and Control of the Accuracy and Updating of the Electoral Roll, which, in exercising its authority, makes decisions, submits requests, issues orders, provides opinions, and prepares reports.

The commission has published at least three reports on the findings from observing these electoral procedures, currently handled by CRTA and CeSID.

Members of the commission are proposed by the five largest parliamentary groups in the National Assembly that are part of the parliamentary majority, while the three largest opposition parliamentary groups each propose one member and one deputy member of the commission.

The purpose of the proposed amendments is to enhance citizens’ trust in the UER by introducing legal provisions on the availability of data in the UER to the general public, political entities participating in elections, and domestic election observers, in line with ODIHR recommendations.
