Electoral system
The President of Montenegro is elected using the two-round system; if no candidate receives a majority of the vote in the first round, a run-off is held two weeks later.[3] In order to submit their candidacy to the State Electoral Commission, potential candidates need to collect 7,993 signatures.[4] A new president is elected every five years, and only is eligible for two terms.
