A new election rule in Serbia is causing concern for citizens living abroad. The rule requires overseas voters to cast their ballots according to polling hours aligned with Central European Time. This means that Serbians in countries with significant time differences, such as the US and Australia, may be forced to vote in the middle of the night. The change impacts the diaspora community’s ability to easily participate in the election process. Critics argue this new regulation effectively disenfranchises voters due to the impracticality of overnight voting. The Serbian government has not yet commented on these concerns. The upcoming elections are considered crucial for the nation’s political future.
