For this occasion, a stratified sample of 750 polling stations will be prepared, from which turnout data will be collected during the day, as well as data on election results during the evening, according to the CeSID website.

They will organize parallel counting of votes and will be the first to announce the estimates of the turnout and election results of the parliamentary elections on election night, Sunday, October 25.

The first estimates of the parliamentary election results are expected at around 21:30-22:00 hours, after which the data will continue to be updated live until preliminary assessment is published, as well as projection of distribution of seats in the Serbian National Assembly.

CeSID also states that during election day, it will report on any observed irregularities.

They state that the preliminary projections of election results will be published only when the analysis of the collected data shows that they are sufficiently reliable and stable, that is, that possible subsequent corrections cannot significantly change the outcome.

Reliability of assessments and informing the public in a responsible manner will take precedence over the speed of publication of results.

As in previous years, CeSID will monitor the entire election process and during election day inform the public through the internet presentation, social networks, press releases and statements for the media.

After the election, the preliminary and final report of the observation mission will be presented to the public.
