Incumbent President Eduard Kokoity has served two terms and is barred by the self declared republic's constitution from serving a third consecutive term in office. Preliminary results of the voting will be announced on Monday.

Some 50,000 eligible voters in South Ossetia will have to choose among 11 candidates running for president. The republic's central electoral commission registered 17 candidates but six of them eventually withdrew their bids.
