Belgrader Milos Petrovic told the FoNet news agency on Friday that he discovered he had been reassigned from his usual polling station in New Belgrade to one in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, after checking the online voter register.

He said he has submitted a request to the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government to have the information corrected.
Petrovic said he had been checking the electoral register every four or 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 unidentified individuals over suspected electoral fraud.
“All of a sudden, I saw that my polling station had been changed from my usual one in New Belgrade to Banja Luka. I knew immediately that someone had submitted a request on my behalf and moved me to a polling station that wasn’t mine,” Petrovic said.
He noted that the change was made shortly before the voter register was due to close, at a point when voters could no longer request changes through their local municipality and instead had to apply directly to the Ministry of Public Administration and Local Self-Government.
Petrovic said he submitted his request on Thursday and expects the information to be corrected, adding that, as far as he is aware, the Ministry has a 24-hour deadline.
He said the criminal complaint he and four other citizens filed after the 2023 elections had gone nowhere, despite all five having given statements to police and provided samples of their signatures for comparison with those on a document they suspected had been forged.
“I even had a chance to see the forged document. It’s a pretty clear-cut case, I’d say, but it’s just sitting in a drawer somewhere and nothing has come of it,” Petrovic said.
