The early parliamentary elections in Serbia concluded with a voter turnout of 64.89% by 6 PM, rising to 67.6% by 7 PM according to estimates. This turnout significantly exceeded the previous elections in December 2023, where only 51.93% had voted by the same time. Voting at embassies also saw high participation, with long queues reported in Zurich. Increased police presence was noted in Belgrade, particularly near the election commission and other key areas, although no specific reasons for this were provided. Authorities emphasized the need for security during the voting process, while students organizing protests urged citizens to avoid areas with heightened police activity.
