Turnout: 353,102 voters / 455,791 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 checked source records 4,704 invalid ballots (votes cast less valid votes).
National list vote totals include the designated minority polling stations once. Their separate mandate-allocation calculations are not added as a second national vote table. Half of the mandates were assigned in submitted list order and the remainder at the list submitter’s discretion.
The commission transcription gives 353,102 voters and 348,398 valid votes. The 2002 OSCE comparison has several different list totals and an internally inconsistent overall voting total; it is not substituted for the commission transcription.
