Serbia Sets 6.45 Million Voters for Sunday
The vote will decide all 250 National Assembly seats as polls show a tight race between Aleksandar Vučić’s party and a student-led challenger.
- 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.
