Early parliamentary elections began at 7 AM with queues forming well before dawn in cities like Novi Sad. Initial data from CESID and IPSOS put turnout at 12% by 9 AM, suggesting the electorate is as engaged as the politicians who called this snap vote.
The morning has been punctuated by incidents that go beyond typical polling day friction. In Kragujevac, a student team member was physically attacked, while in Doljevac, thirty people reportedly stormed a polling station to assault those inside. Voting was halted entirely at one Kraljevo station because a page of the voter registry had simply vanished.
Among those waiting in line was Aleksandar Vučić, whose presence was captured by the same cameras tracking queues as far afield as Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. In Užice, monitors reported an attempted "Bulgarian train" voting manipulation tactic.
