Presidential elections were held in Serbia on 16 November 2003,[1] a month before the December 2003 parliamentary election.[2] Although Tomislav Nikolić of the Serbian Radical Party received the most votes, the elections were invalidated as voter turnout was just 39%, less than the 50% threshold required by electoral law. As a result, fresh elections were held in June 2004.
