According to the official results, a total of 419,240 citizens or 86.5% of the total number of voters participated in the referendum, of which 230,661 citizens or 55.5% supported the independence of Montenegro, while 185,002 people or 44.5% voted for the creation of a common state with Serbia.

The right to vote in the referendum had citizens who had the right to vote in accordance with the Election Law in force at that time. According to the RRB, the right to vote in the referendum received 484 thousand 718 citizens.
