How this office is filled

The House of Peoples has 15 indirectly elected delegates: five Bosniaks and five Croats from the Federation of BiH and five Serbs from Republika Srpska. On 3 November 2026 the CEC announced that indirect elections were still forthcoming; the new house is not yet constituted, so there is no elected-2026 roster.

1. Bosniak and Croat caucuses of the FBiH House of Peoples

   Each caucus elects five delegates of its constituent people. A political subject represented in the caucus or any delegate may nominate a list; each delegate casts one vote for a list by secret ballot.
