Summary/Abstract: Relatively low voter turnout, higher number of spoilt votes, URS and Preokret failure, SRS winning seats in provincial parliament despite fact they did not reach electoral threshold at national elections, three times higher number of seats under PR comparing with previous elections for coalition gathered around SPS, only one minority list – SVM – in Assembly of APV are some of the 2012 provincial elections results. However, the most important result of these elections is the consequence of the parallel electoral system main characteristic. A large number of seats won by coalition around Democratic Party under TRS have compensated their relatively poor result under PR and allowed them to win almost absolute majority of seats in the Assembly of Vojvodina and to form government with only one coalition partner.
