What is at stake is the office of President of the Republic, and no polling day has been called. On 28 September 2026 the Government of Serbia reported that Aleksandar Vučić had resigned the night before and that day handed the duty to Ana Brnabić, Speaker of the National Assembly. She serves as acting president until a new president is elected. The same notice says that, under the Law on the President, the Speaker performs the duties of president for not more than three months and must call the election so that voting takes place no later than three months from the day the term ends. Under article 14 of that law, the term ends when the resignation is received by the National Assembly. This page does not treat the handover as a called election.
How the election is timed, on the account RTS published on 27 September 2026, is article 10 of the Law on the Election of the President of the Republic. If the term ends early, the election is called so that voting is held no later than three months after the term ends, and from the day of the call to polling day not fewer than 30 days and not more than 60 days may pass. The same text says the latest date is 27 December 2026. That is a deadline, not a day this site has chosen and not a day the Republic Electoral Commission had published when these pages were read on 27 October 2026. Republic Electoral Commission chair Vladimir Dimitrijević told RTS on 28 September 2026 that voting must be held by 27 December 2026 at the latest. This page does not repeat another date from that interview.
How a winner is decided, in the same law as RTS reported it, is a vote of the citizens. If no candidate wins more than half of the valid votes, the law provides a second round within 15 days. This preview does not apply that rule to any name, because no candidacy had been published by the Commission on the day of reading. The polling stations, the hours, and the candidate list are published by the Commission once the election is called. None of those three was on the Commission’s site as a presidential notice when it was read. This page therefore lists no candidate and prints no station.
The history this preview can state is the resignation and the statute, not a copied count of an earlier presidential election. Earlier presidential totals were not the file being read, so they are not reprinted and not estimated. The National Assembly election of 25 October 2026 is a different office. Its preliminary figures stay on the Commission’s results page for that election. They are not repeated here, and they are not a guide to the presidential contest. Seats in the Assembly, when the Commission assigns them, are Assembly seats. They do not fill the presidency.
Parties and lists have public names when the Commission prints a candidacy. No such presidential candidacy was printed on the day these pages were read, so this preview does not name a party for the presidency and does not summarise a programme. A programme is the text a candidate or a list publishes. Inventing one would go past the record. This site prints no survey figure for the presidential election and no sample of voters leaving stations. No Event date is attached to this page until a day is in the Official Gazette. Readers who need the call, the day, or the list should open the Republic Electoral Commission.
