Serbia votes as students seek to unseat Vucic in snap election
- Serbia will hold its 15th National Assembly election on Sunday, October 25, 2026, with 2,418 candidates across 18 lists competing for 250 seats in a single nationwide contest.
- Aleksandar Vučić, candidate for prime minister, resigned in September to lead the Serbian Progressive Party, aiming to extend his 14-year political dominance following the 2024 Novi Sad station collapse.
- Ipsos polls from October 22 place the Progressive Party at 47.4% and the student-backed list at 40.0%, with parties needing a 3% vote threshold for parliamentary entry.
- The electoral commission finalized the voter register at 6,451,292 on Friday, while prediction markets show $3.6 million in wagers, currently pricing the list led by Vučić at 71.5% to win.
- Framing the election as a referendum on corruption, opposition candidates campaign under the slogan "Serbia or the mafia," testing whether a student-led movement can challenge the current political order.
