Bosnia and Herzegovina is implementing a significant change to its electoral system for the 2026 General Elections. New ballots will omit the names of candidates, instead displaying only ordinal numbers alongside political party listings. Voters will select candidates by marking their preferred number after choosing a political subject. This reform, highlighted by the Coalition for Free and Fair Elections “Under Magnifying Glass,” aims to reduce the influence of candidate recognition and potentially focus voting decisions on party platforms. Details regarding the rationale and implementation were presented by project managers involved. The change is a substantial departure from previous election procedures in the country and is expected to impact voter behavior. Further information concerning the details of this electoral shift was initially reported by Sarajevo Times.
