In Gracanica, Zëri writes, around 15-18 percent of the population with the right to vote did so by afternoon.
Serbs in Gorazhdec of Peja municipality, according to Koha Ditore, did not take part in local elections. By 13.00hrs, of 900 registered voters, none took part in the process.

In Novobërdo, the paper reports that 1335 Albanians and 625 Serbs used the right to vote and adds it is not clear who will run the municipality.

The number of the voters in Caglavica it seems has exceeded the most optimistic forecasts. The citizens of this location have been seen to have waited in the queue to cast their vote.

They expressed themselves that this turnout can be interpreted also as their distancing from Belgrade, which from Kosovo Serbs requested not to participate in elections.

In Kamenica, the papers reported of a symbolic turnout of the Serb community.

In the villages of Prizren, Novak and Srecka, the Serb community boycotted elections.

In Leposavic the turnout was 0.83%, in Zubin Potok 6.64%, in Zvecan 0.75.

According to the Serbian Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic a low turnout of Serbs was recorded in the elections he called illegitimate. He added that the majority of the Kosovo Serbs respected the Belgrade‟s stance not to take part in the elections. “Those [Serbs] that took part in elections ought to be aware that they cannot represent Kosovo Serbs,” said Bogdanovic.
