In order to be elected in the first round, a candidate had to cross a threshold of 50% of the registered voters. Although incumbent President of the Presidency Momir Bulatović received 62% of the valid votes, this was only 42.2% of the registered voters. However, he went on to win the second round convincingly against Ljubiša Stanković of the Union of Reform Forces of Yugoslavia, becoming the first elected President of Montenegro.
