Voters in Bosnia and Herzegovina head to polls for general election

Polls have opened on Sunday in Bosnia and Herzegovina's general election amid divisive campaigns that could affect their European Union membership bid.

Around 3.4 million voters are choosing the three members of their multi-ethnic presidency, lawmakers for the national Parliament, and heads of institutions.

The country's 75 parties running in the election are organised along ethnic lines.

The Bosniak and Croat politicians are elected from the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina while the Serb member is elected from Republika Srpska.

For the first time, Bosnian authorities are using new digital voting technology of identification and scanning to address earlier concerns over vote tampering and irregularities.

Some in Sarajevo say they want to have fair and honest elections and expect their country to be better, and that's why they arrive to cast their ballots to show their solidarity.
