Electoral system

Municipal elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina comprise the election of a mayor and municipal assembly across the 143 municipalities of Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are governed by the Law on Elections.

Mayors are elected by a first-past-the-post system, with the candidate receiving the plurality of votes winning. For this reason, multi-party coalitions are more common at the mayoral level, with a united political or ethnic slate presented in situations where several candidates may divide the electorate. Assembly elections use open list proportional representation, with the number of assembly members varying by population.

Sarajevo and Istočno Sarajevo are further subdivided into four and six municipalities which also elect assemblies. The mayor of Sarajevo is elected indirectly, while the mayor of Istočno Sarajevo has been elected directly since the 2020 municipal elections. The Brčko District is an independent self-administrative unit, electing an assembly which in turn selects a mayor. Mostar holds elections using the mixed-member proportional representation system where 22 seats are elected in six different city areas and 13 on the city list. The mayor is elected by the city assembly.
