Differences in the frequency of responses can be observed owing to the region that the
respondents come from, so Belgrade residents are called by telephone and stopped on the
street/square more often than other regions during the election process, and they were
exposed to visits by party activists in households as much as residents of Vojvodina. On the
other hand, Vojvodina respondents were more frequently called by telephone during election
day when compared to citizens from other regions. More detailed differences are presented
in the following chart.

If the above percentages of respondents who were regularly contacted or visited by political
parties during the election cycle are reflected on the total electorate in Serbia, taking into
account two criteria - (1) the total number of voters registered in the single electoral
register in the June 2020 elections - 6,584,376 and (2) the 2019 adult population
estimate, according to the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia - 5,736,716, we get the
following data on the maximum projected range of citizens regularly exposed to some of these party
activities during the June 2020 election cycle - table 4.3.10.1.1.
According to these projections, the maximum number of voters who received a call from a
political party during the June elections ranges between ≈499 and ≈573 thousand, with no
more than ≈434 thousand being invited to vote. Between ≈240 and ≈276 thousand citizens
had a meeting with party activists, up to ≈197 thousand were visited in the household and up
to ≈32 thousand were visited at the workplace.
