Electoral system
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Elections in Montenegro are free, with the right of secret ballot guaranteed. Because the country has a single national voting district, all votes cast at individual voting stations across the country went towards a single total. The electoral threshold was 3%, so electoral lists receiving under three percent of the total votes cast were crossed out, and the MPs within the assembly were split amongst the remaining lists. Seats were distributed by the D'Hondt method, which slightly favors leading lists above the smaller ones. The Parliament's mandate lasts four years.
Parties and coalitions
Several coalitions were formed or continued for the election:[2]
| Coalition | Constituent parties |
|---|---|
| Coalition for a European Montenegro | Democratic Party of Socialists, the Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party |
| Democratic Front | Movement for Changes and New Serb Democracy |
| Serb National Alliance | Party of Serb Radicals, the Democratic Serb Party and the Serbian National Council |
| Serb Unity | Serbian People's Party, the Serb List, the Serb Homeland Party, the Serbian Radical Party and the Democratic Centre of Boka |
| Together | Party of Pensioners, Disabled and Social Justice and the Yugoslav Communist Party of Montenegro |
| For Unity | New Democratic Power – FORCA, Albanian Coalition "Perspective" and the Citizens Initiative |
| Albanian Coalition | Democratic League in Montenegro, the Democratic Party and the Albanian Alternative. |
A newly formed party, Positive Montenegro led by Darko Pajović, ran independently.[3]
