5.2 Youth participation in representative democracy

Last update: 18 February 2026

Young people as voters 

The voting age for all types of elections in the Republic of Serbia is set at 18 years.  

There are currently no imminent plans to lower the voting age limit. 

Electoral legislation does not include special provisions for young people. 

There is no reliable data on the turnout of young people in the elections, as there is no official, systematically collected data on voter turnout disaggregated by age.

Young people as political representatives 

In accordance with the Law on political parties (Zakon o političkim strankama, 2009, amended in 2015), citizens of the Republic of Serbia may become members of political parties upon reaching the legally prescribed age of 18. 

The minimum age for standing as a candidate in elections is also 18 years. 

The legal framework does not provide for quotas or reserved seats for young people nor does it include specific measures aimed at facilitating or encouraging young people to stand as political candidates.  

Currently (as of March, 2024) there are 5 members under the age of 30 in the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia.
