Belgrade resident Miloš Petrović told FoNet today that, after checking the electronic voter register, he noticed that his polling station had been changed from New Belgrade to Banja Luka, prompting him to submit a request to correct his information to the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government.
Petrović said he had been checking the voter register every four to five days because the same thing had happened to him ahead of the 2023 elections, when he and four other citizens filed a criminal complaint against unknown individuals on suspicion of electoral fraud.
“Suddenly, I see that my polling location has changed from my usual polling station in New Belgrade to Banja Luka. I immediately knew that someone had submitted a request on my behalf and transferred me to a polling station that was not mine,” Petrović said.
He noted that the change occurred shortly before the voter register was closed, when citizens could no longer make such changes through the usual procedure at their local municipal office, but instead had to submit their requests to the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government.
Petrović said he submitted the request yesterday and expected his information to be corrected, adding that, according to his understanding, the Ministry has 24 hours to do so.
According to him, the criminal complaint he filed with four other citizens following the 2023 elections has not led to any resolution, even though they all gave statements to the police and provided signatures to be compared with those on a document they suspect was forged.
“I also had the opportunity to see that forged document. It is, I would say, a very clear-cut case, but it is sitting in some drawer and has not moved forward,” Petrović said.
He suggested that the transfer of voters to Banja Luka could be part of an organized scheme to relocate voters, noting that a man from Bijeljina had also contacted him on Instagram and claimed that he, too, had been reassigned to a polling station in Banja Luka.
Petrović added that of the five citizens who filed a complaint with him after the previous elections, three had remained at their original polling stations, while two had been reassigned again.
He urged citizens to check their information in the electronic voter register and, if they notice any irregularities, submit a request to the Ministry for corrections as soon as possible.
“Checking the voter register online is a very simple way to find out whether anything has happened to your polling station, or whether you have been reassigned,” Petrović said.
