Summary/Abstract: The elections were conducted in specific pandemic conditions, as was the case in the rest of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The imposed precautionary and protective measures prevented mass gatherings, so political parties resorted to other means in the election campaign (posters, billboards, internet, “door to door”). The elections passed peacefully in the area of Gračanica, there were no major problems. The current mayor Nusret Helić (SDP) won, thus entering his fifth term, with a significant lead to his opponents Davud Zahirović (SDA) and Mirsad Čamdžić (Naša stranka). The same party order by numbers of seats and terms remains in the Municipal council. The citizens of Gračanica have shown that they are not in favor of change. Maybe this was decided by the more than 50% of voters who did not participate in the elections.
