tolerable, but also those who are not regular voters or who do not come out to vote or do it only occasionally. This can be interpreted in multiple ways. Firstly, one explanation can be that voters who do not support the direction taken by Serbia (traditionally belonging to the body of voters dissatisfied with policies and the situation in society, vote for the opposition and generally distrust institutions107) more often identify or recognize certain actions as unauthorized pressures, or reflect their general dissatisfaction on the electoral process to a greater extent. On the other hand, considering the specific circumstances under which the previous elections were held, it can also be interpreted as if those voters who are generally dissatisfied with political goings-on or who lack clear political affiliation were more often targeted and encouraged to make a certain decision in the elections. Finally, and in relation to what was previously stated, since there was virtually no uncertainty about the results in the last elections, but the greater focus was on the turnout108, it is certain that voters who traditionally do not support the direction Serbia is moving in felt more pressured to act in a certain way and to make an election decision accordingly. If percentages of those respondents who said that they or their immediate family members had been subjected to pressure several times during the June 2020 elections, 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 possible range of respondents exposed to pressures at least once - table 4.3.10.2.2.
