Unified Voters’ Record one of most up-to-date records in Serbia

Belgrade, 25 December 2023

The Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government reiterated today that the Unified Voters’ Record is one of the most up-to-date records in the Republic of Serbia and that it has never been more organised, as well as that claims about the existence of "phantom voters" are absolutely untrue.

In the announcement, it is reminded that since the establishment of the Unified Voters’ Record in 2012, the record of temporary and permanent residence of citizens, has been linked to the voters’ record.

This means that, when a citizen changes their place of residence, that information is updated within 24 hours by the municipal or city administration of the local self-government unit in charge of the part of the voter list in the area of which the change was made.

Since 2019, the registers have been linked to the voters record, so that when a person dies, they are deleted from the voters’ register as soon as possible by the person authorised to update the voters’ record, and the same procedure applies in the case of a change of surname, because that the information is immediately recorded in the register.

Since 2021, the number of voters classified by local self-government units is published on the website of the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, every three months until the voter record is closed, and after the voter record is closed, it is possible to view data on the names and surnames of all voters in Serbia by polling stations.

In order to further improve the Unified Voters' Record, the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government, in cooperation with the Office for Information Technologies and Electronic Government, has established an electronic service on the eGovernment Portal – Request for registration, i.e., change of data in the Unified Voters' Record.
