The International Election Observation Mission led by ODIHR published its preliminary findings on the 25 October early parliamentary elections. The mission noted high turnout and vigorous competition, but found that the equality of campaign opportunities was seriously compromised by the misuse of state resources, pressure on voters and public-sector employees, and pronounced media bias in favour of "United Serbia". It also concluded that priority ODIHR recommendations remain unaddressed, that the authorities did not explain voter register discrepancies, and that election disputes were not consistently resolved through effective legal remedies.

CRTA's Election Observation Mission is reporting live from the 25 October parliamentary elections on CRTA.Plus. Throughout the day, the live blog brings findings from CRTA observers at polling stations, CRTA's turnout estimates at 10:00, 13:00, 16:00 and 19:00, compared with the 2023 elections, and live streams of CRTA's press conferences. After polling stations close, CRTA will publish its preliminary projection of results and seats, based on a parallel vote tabulation on a random, representative sample of 500 polling stations - not before 21:30.

CRTA Election Observation Mission published its preliminary report on the campaign for the early parliamentary elections of 25 October, covering the period from 9 September to 16 October 2026. The report finds that most indicators deteriorated compared with the first part of the campaign: the elections are being held on a voter register that has not been audited, 116 incidents involving physical violence and verbal threats were recorded, and on broadcasters with national coverage the share of the authorities rose to almost three quarters of the time.
