Local elections in Zaječar and Kosjerić are held on June 7 and 8, where citizens elect councilors for the assemblies of these local governments. Eight electoral lists participate in Zaječar, and three in Kosjerić. Polling stations are open from 7 AM to 8 PM, with an election silence starting at midnight before election day. These are regular elections, with the previous ones held in March of the same year. Citizens are encouraged to vote with a valid ID card or passport, and there is an option for voting outside the polling station for those unable to attend. Election campaigning and candidate presentations are prohibited during the election silence. Preliminary results are expected to be announced on the evening of election day.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning sources emphasize the democratic process and the importance of voter participation in local governance. They highlight the diversity of electoral lists and the opportunity for citizens to influence local policies. They may also stress transparency and fairness in the election process.
Center: Center-leaning sources provide straightforward reporting on the logistics of the elections, including dates, times, number of lists, and voting procedures. They focus on informing the public about the election process without much political commentary.
Right: Right-leaning sources tend to emphasize the participation of pro-government or nationalist electoral lists, such as ‘Ne damo Srbiju’ led by Aleksandar Vučić. They may highlight the stability and continuity provided by these parties and stress the importance of maintaining order and national interests through these local elections.
