General elections will be held in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 2 October 2022. They will decide the makeup of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Presidency as well as national, entity, and cantonal governments.

The elections for the House of Representatives are divided into two; one for the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and one for Republika Srpska. In the presidential election, each of the three national communities will elect a Presidency member. The current Presidency members are Šefik Džaferović (Bosniak), Željko Komšić (Croat) and Milorad Dodik (Serb). The Party of Democratic Action is currently the largest party in the House of Representatives, with 8 of the 42 seats.

Background[]

See also: 2018 Bosnian general election

At the 2018 Bosnian general election, Šefik Džaferović of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), Željko Komšić of the Democratic Front (DF) and Milorad Dodik of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) were elected as the new Bosnian Presidency members, succeeding Bakir Izetbegović, Dragan Čović and Mladen Ivanić respectively.[1] The SDA emerged as the largest party in the national House of Representatives, winning 9 of the 42 seats.

Following the 2018 election, the new Council of Ministers cabinet was confirmed by the House of Representatives after a one year governmental formation crisis. The SNSD's Zoran Tegeltija was appointed Chairman of the Council of Ministers on 23 December 2019.[2]

Tegeltija's Cabinet is supported by a coalition of the SNSD, the Croatian Democratic Union, the SDA, the DF and the Democratic People's Alliance. The major opposition is the coalition of the Social Democratic Party, Our Party and the People and Justice party. The coalition of the Serb Democratic Party and the Party of Democratic Progress is the major opposition in Republika Srpska.

At a House of Representatives session held in January 2021, a vote of no confidence in Tegeltija took place, due to poor performance results during his term as Chairman of the Council of Ministers, but by the end of the voting, it was clear that Tegeltija was staying as Chairman of the Council of Ministers.[3] Three months later, on 28 April, another vote of no confidence in Tegeltija took place at a House of Representatives session, but again, Tegeltija continued serving as Chairman.[4]

Electoral system[]

The three members of the Presidency are elected by plurality. In Republika Srpska voters elect the Serb representative, whilst in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina voters elect the Bosniak and Croat members.[5] The 42 members of the House of Representatives are elected by open list proportional representation in two constituencies, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska.[6]
