Government. Days from election to the government's election: 2016 (16 Oct) Marković cabinet 28 Nov 2016 (43); 2020 (30 Aug) Krivokapić cabinet 4 Dec 2020 (96); 2023 (11 Jun) Spajić cabinet 31 Oct 2023 (142). Dates from Wikipedia (Government of Montenegro), not yet checked against gov.me or skupstina.me. The constitutional limit (art. 92) allows up to about 30 + 90 days after constitution. A government market needs a deadline beyond the longest precedent. Not before . Precedents: 43 and 96 and 142 days from polling day.

    announced
    Polls close at 20:00 local (law art. 70), 18:00 UTC in July (CEST, UTC+2). DIK's first official figures are the provisional results (privremeni rezultati). Statutory chain: polling boards deliver material within 6 hours of closing (art. 91), municipal commissions report to DIK within 12 hours, and DIK 'utvrđuje privremene rezultate za izbor poslanika, u roku od 12 časova' (art. 92), so by 02:00 local on Tuesday 13 Jul 2027 at the latest. Precedent: in 2023 DIK convened the session to set the provisional results at 20:30 on Monday 12 Jun 2023, the day after the vote, and posted them on 12 Jun (dik.co.me, 2023 section). The window closes at the end of Tuesday local time, a day past the statutory chain. Media and NGO projections on election night are not DIK figures. Provisional, not the final result.

    precedent
    Law art. 98: DIK sets the final results 'u roku od 12 časova od isteka roka za podnošenje prigovora, odnosno žalbi, odnosno od konačnosti ili izvršnosti odluka donešenih po prigovoru ili žalbi'; complaints go to the commissions within 72 hours, and DIK's decisions can be appealed to the Constitutional Court (arts. 107-110). Art. 99 sets Official Gazette publication within 15 days of polling day (26 Jul 2027), but that deadline was missed in 2023. Precedents on DIK's own site: 2020, vote 30 Aug, final results set at a session on 14 Sep 2020 (day 15; notice 'DIK sjutra utvrđuje konačne rezultate izbora', 13 Sep 2020); 2023, vote 11 Jun, final results set on 14 Jul 2023 (decision no. 910, day 33), after the Constitutional Court rejected the last appeal (press reports, e.g. portalanalitika.me 'DIK proglasio konačne rezultate izbora'). The window closes on 20 Aug 2027, end of day CEST (day 40), a week past the longest precedent, because appeals can hold up the result. The opening, Sunday 18 Jul (day 7), is an ESTIMATED floor: complaint and appeal periods have to run out first. The Constitutional Court rules before DIK sets the final results, so there is no separate court-validation stage.
  3. Government formed
    → —
    estimate
    Constitution art. 103: the President proposes a prime minister-designate within 30 days of the Parliament's constitution; the Parliament votes on the programme and cabinet together. Art. 92: the Parliament is dissolved if it elects no government within 90 days of the first proposal. The new Parliament is constituted when the commission's report on the results is submitted (law art. 14), so no government before the final results; the opening is the estimated floor of the final-result window. In 2023 the Parliament was constituted on 27 Jul 2023, 46 days after the vote.
