Montenegrin parliamentary elections were held on November 3, 1996, the same day as the first round of the 1996 Serbian local elections. The result was a victory for the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro which won 45 of the 71 seats.

Electoral system

Of the 71 seats in Parliament, 64 were elected by proportional representation in a nationwide constituency and seven were elected in a special constituency for minority lists. The electoral threshold was set at 6% and seats allocated using the d'Hondt method. Closed lists were used with a single list for both constituencies, although parties only had to awawrd half their seats according to the order of the list, with the remaining half free for them to allocate.
