For the National Assembly, 63 seats are allocated to each of the nine electoral units and a further 20 "compensation seats" are allocated to ensure proportionality.
Following the release of the preliminary results, opposition parties filed accusations of electoral fraud direct against Milorad Dodik who they claimed coordinated stuffing ballot boxes with thousands of illegal votes to put the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats ahead in the polls and that Jelena Trivić was the true winner of the presidential election.[6][7] As a result of the allegations, the central electoral commission conducted a recount of the preliminary results for the Republika Srpska alongside the rest of the country's elections.[8] On 22 October, it confirmed the presidential and parliamentary results.[9] On 27 October, officials confirmed Dodik's victory. The commission noted that while there were irregularities, none were on a level that would have changed the outcome of the election.[10]
