Presidential elections were held in the Yugoslav province of Serbia on 8 December 2002.[1] They followed elections in September and October which were invalidated due to voter turnout not meeting the 50% requirement.[2] Although the legal requirement of a turnout of at least 50% of registered voters was dropped for the second round of this election, turnout in the first round was below 50%, invalidating the election before a second round.[3][4]
