This year 2.7 million Bosnians have the right to cast their votes at 4,299 polling stations that will be opened between 7 and 19.00 hours. Thirty six (36) political parties, eight coalitions and 12 independent candidates will run in the elections for the country's collective presidency and the national parliament.
The three-member presidency consists of representatives of the three constituent peoples: Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), Croats and Serbs.
Six candidates stand in the election for each Bosniak and Croat member of the presidency, while even 11 candidates will compete for the post of the Serb representative.
Voters from the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina will also vote for deputies in the House of Representatives in the Federation Parliament and for representatives in assemblies in ten cantons.
Voters from the Bosnian Serb entity will also directly vote for president and two vice presidents, as well as for representatives to the Republika Srpska parliament.
