Serb voters abroad face long trips in tight election after officials move polling stations

Serbian citizens living abroad are facing logistical challenges in the upcoming national election due to the relocation of polling stations. Voters who previously cast ballots at local consulates, such as the one in Vancouver, Canada, are now required to travel significantly longer distances to participate in the democratic process.

The changes have caused frustration among the diaspora, who had anticipated a voting experience similar to the 2023 elections. These adjustments occur amidst a closely contested political environment in Serbia, heightening the impact of the administrative shifts on voter turnout and accessibility for those residing outside the country.
