7. ^ Previous local election in Nikšić was held on 12 March 2017 and was boycotted by all the opposition parties after the Government announced the imprisonment of the leaders of the opposition Democratic Front alliance.[4] Only the ruling DPS (winning 80% of votes) and its minor partner SD (9% of votes) ran in the election, with voter turnout at 45%, while 11% of the votes cast were spoilt.[5]
8. ^ At the previous local election in Herceg Novi, United Reform Action participated in a coalition with the Social Democratic Party and together they won one seat, that seat being won by a member of SDP, effectively making URA an extra-parliamentary party on the local level in Herceg Novi.[9]
