Turnout: 305,025 voters / 402,905 registered electors. Shares are recalculated from the stated valid-vote denominator, not all registered voters or all ballots cast.

Coalitions remain single result rows; coalition votes are not distributed among component parties. All lists in the checked national table, including zero-seat lists, are included. Blank government information and unassessed ideology do not imply a conclusion about either.

Previous seats are shown only for the same standalone party in the immediately preceding election or an unchanged coalition membership. A missing comparison is null, not zero. Chamber size and electoral boundaries changed across some elections.

Montenegro was a constituent republic of Yugoslavia at the time; this is its republic parliament, not a Yugoslav federal election. Results are the MNEE transcription of the commission reports cited in the source audit; the original reports were published in Pobjeda / the Official Gazette.

The valid-vote denominator is the sum of party/list votes reconstructed by MNEE because the archival commission report did not separately report it. No independently reported rejected-ballot count is inferred from the turnout difference.

The League of Communists (SKCG) is retained under its 1990 name; it became DPS in 1991. The commission transcription assigns 13 seats to the Democratic Coalition and 12 to the People’s Party; some secondary accounts reverse these figures.
