Summary/Abstract: The survey Electoral Justice: Here, Now, Tomorrow – the Case of Serbia, published by CeSID in May 2021, set out the priority areas for intervention to improve and enhance all aspects of the Serbian framework for resolving election disputes, in view especially of the need for thorough reform of Serbia’s electoral law and the regulation and rules of procedures on election disputes, and (2) the growing importance of the resolution of election disputes and their impact on confidence – or lack thereof – on the overall electoral system. One of the findings of this study was that stakeholders in elections, especially ‘soft’ political organizations, have very limited capacity and knowledge about how to address or file election disputes, so their capacity needs to be enhanced to empower them. The same was true of the general public: no more than 10 percent of voters knew how to file a complaint, and as few as 24 percent were aware they were entitled to file election-related complaints.
