2023 Vojvodina provincial election

Initially scheduled to be held by 30 June 2024, the possibility of calling a snap election was discussed in 2023.

For the first time ever, Mirović was not present on the SNS electoral list and did not take part in its election campaign.

[3] Since he came to power, observers have assessed that Serbia has suffered from democratic backsliding into authoritarianism, followed by a decline in media freedom and civil liberties.

[4][5] In 2023, the V-Dem Institute categorised Serbia as an electoral autocracy, while Freedom House noted that SNS has "eroded political rights and civil liberties, put pressure on independent media, the opposition, and civil society organisations".

[6][7][8] The For Our Children coalition, led by SNS, won a supermajority of votes and seats in the 2020 provincial election.

[16] The 120 members of the Assembly of Vojvodina are elected by closed-list proportional representation from a single nationwide constituency.

[22] An electoral list could be declined, after which those who had submitted can fix the deficiencies in a span of 48 hours, or rejected, if the person is not authorised to nominate candidates.

[28] Parliamentary groups led by SNS, SPS–JS, and VMSZ introduced a proposal to amend the electoral system of Vojvodina in September 2023.

[29] They had proposed to lower the number of needed valid signatures and to bar coalitions and citizens' groups from taking place in the future elections.

[33] Darko Glišić, the president of the SNS executive board, stated that the local and provincial elections will be held in the first half of 2024.

[35] Newspaper Nova and news portal N1 reported in September 2023 that local, provincial, and parliamentary elections could be held as early as 19 December 2023.

[36][37] Vučić and Miloš Vučević, the president of SNS, also held a gathering with officials from Vojvodina on 5 September, with newspaper Blic reporting that the official date will be revealed after the 78th United Nations General Assembly, which is set to be held on 18–26 September.

[45] The Serbian Patriotic Alliance (SPAS), a party that won several seats in the City Assemblies of Novi Sad and Kikinda,[47][48] was offered to merge into SNS in May 2021.

[62] They formalised the United for the Victory of Serbia (UZPS) alliance in January 2022 which ultimately won 14 percent of popular vote in the 2022 parliamentary election.

[65][66][67] DSS and POKS signed a cooperation agreement in January 2021, further expanding it in May 2021 with the creation of the National Democratic Alternative (NADA).

[70] DSS changed its name to New Democratic Party of Serbia (NDSS) in May 2022, while a month later Vojislav Mihailović was legally recognised as the president of POKS.

[77] He formed the Serbia Centre (SRCE) organisation in June 2022 which was registered as a political party in July 2023.

[78][79] Within Narodna, a dispute between its president Vuk Jeremić and vice-president Miroslav Aleksić began in June 2023.

[80] Aleksić was eventually removed from the position of the party's executive board in July 2023; he then publicly acknowledged the conflict between him and Jeremić.

[81][82] Although a leadership is scheduled for October 2023, Aleksić left Narodna and reconstituted the People's Movement of Serbia (NPS) in August 2023.

[83] Although the We Must alliance ceased to exist after the 2022 elections, its member parties said that they would continue cooperating in the National Assembly.

[88] NDB announced in late June 2022 that it had adopted a platform to work on becoming a registered party, while it began collecting signatures in May 2023.

[94] The following table includes electoral lists that were confirmed by PIK and that took part in the 2023 Vojvodina provincial election.

[116] Saša Vujić from Healthy Serbia also appears on the list, while Milan Đukić, despite being a Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) member, is listed as a SNS candidate due to SPO not signing a cooperation agreement with SNS.

[96] Represented by Marinika Tepić and Mihailo Brkić, the Serbia Against Violence (SPN) coalition submitted its electoral list on 21 November.

[131] The Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina (DSHV) and Justice and Reconciliation Party coalition submitted its electoral list to PIK on 24 November, with 2,117 signatures.

[98] The Liberal Democratic Party of Čedomir Jovanović submitted its electoral list on 25 November, with 4,560 signatures in total.

[147] At the session on 8 May, the Assembly elected Maja Gojković as the new president of the government of Vojvodina, succeeding Mirović.
