The president was the leader of the League of Communists of Vojvodina (LCV), the ruling party of the Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (SAPV) of the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The LCV was the provincial organisation of the League of Communists of Serbia (LCS) in Vojvodina. Party rules stipulated that the LCV Central Committee elected the president. Moreover, the Central Committee was empowered to remove the president. The president served ex officio as a member of the Presidency of the Central Committee of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (LCY) and of the SAPV Presidency. To be eligible to serve, the president had to be a member of the LCV Executive Committee of the LCV Provincial Committee.

The office traces its lineage back to the office of "Secretary of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia for Vojvodina", established sometime in 1919. As a provincial committee, the Vojvodina communists had no distinct rights and were under the jurisdiction of the Serbian Central Committee. The LCY 6th Congress on 2–7 November 1952, renamed the party League of Communists, and the Vojvodina branch followed suit and changed its name to League of Communists of Vojvodina. On 4 October 1966, the 5th Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the LCY 8th Congress abolished the office of General Secretary at the national level and replaced with the office of President. The LSC Central Committee convened a meeting in 1966 that abolished the office of secretary and established the "President of the Provincial Committee of the League of Communists of Vojvodina". The reforms passed by the LCY Central Committee plenum strengthened the powers of the provincial branches of Kosovo and Vojvodina and gave more powers to the LCV party leader. In 1981, the LCV introduced another set of reforms that abolished the existing office and replaced it with the "President of the Presidency of the Provincial Committee of the League of Communists of Vojvodina". This office was retained until 17 July 1990, when the League of Communists of Serbia changed its name to the "Socialist Party of Serbia".
