Municipal elections were held in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 15 November 2020 to elect mayors and assemblies in 143 municipalities.[2] Originally scheduled for 4 October, they were postponed due to a lack of funds.[3][4][5]
Occurring under the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, they came less than a year following the delayed formation of the state government.[6] National coalition partners and the hegemonic Bosniak, Serb and Croat political parties, the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) and Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), respectively, each defended the most number of positions.
A total of 3,283,194 citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina were registered to vote[7][8] – almost on par with the total population of the country, 3,531,159 at the 2013 census[9] – pointing to issues of outdated data in the voters' registry.
Out of 425 mayoral candidates, 29 were women.[10] Only 4 women were elected mayors, down from 7.
