Ahead of the elections in Herceg Novi, on May 9, the State Election Commission (SEC) determined that almost 2.000 voters there were registered in the voter list of Serbia.

They came to this information by entering voter registration numbers from the voter list for Herceg Novi in ​​the online voter database of Serbia.

Such a method of checking is contrary to the Law on the Protection of Personal Data, the Council for the Protection of Personal Data established.

SEC members from the parliamentary majority and the non-governmental sector told Television Vijesti that the check of the so-called of double voters was carried out without a decision of the SEC, i.e. that the secretary Nikola Dedeić ordered the official to do so, and that the other members were put before the fait accompli, with which, as they claim, the institution was misused for party purposes.

The agency will carry out supervision in the SEC on May 4. SEC President Aleksa Ivanović told Television Vijesti that he cannot comment on the opinion of the Agency for the Protection of Personal Data until he receives it officially.

Commission member from DPS, Nataša Pešić, did not respond to TV Vijesti's request for a statement.
