Law on the Unified Electoral Register

Serbia’s electoral register law regulates maintenance and updating of voter records, registration, changes and access. Accurate entry supports electoral rights, but checking the register is different from voting or objecting to election results. The responsible authority and change procedure depend on the stage, particularly closure of the register for a specific election. Identify that stage before selecting an application route.

Municipal and city administrations and the responsible ministry carry out statutory tasks. The 2025 amendments also address review, verification and accuracy and updating controls. Commissions, observers, list submitters and individual residents have different powers. Data supports electoral rights and register scrutiny with privacy protection; it is not freely available for any campaign or commercial purpose. Checking one’s own entry is different from accessing a wider set of personal data.

Before an election, check your entry through the competent official system. For an error, submit the appropriate correction request with evidence and retain confirmation and decision. Establish the authority and applicable election deadline for that stage; general information does not replace a formal decision. Do not collect or publish other people’s information without a legal basis. For suspected systemic inaccuracies, document facts and ask about the responsible control process rather than assuming all commission powers.

The current chain is Official Gazette 104/2009, 99/2011, 44/2024 and 96/2025; the latest amendment was adopted on 7 November 2025. Its Article 15 provides entry into force on the eighth day, with parts of Article 2 applying after 3 or 6 months. Those periods have passed by 10 October 2026. The first review is linked to 9 months after the Commission’s appointment, so completion cannot be inferred from the law’s date alone. Use the current specific Legal Information System text; parliamentary PDF 2147-25 contains only the amendment, not the complete law.

For a particular case, check the current law through the official source, relevant implementing rules and individual decisions, and seek qualified legal help where needed. This overview does not replace the legislation or a competent authority’s decision.
