Electoral system
edit.svg)
The 151 members of the Croatian Parliament are elected from ten geographical and two special constituencies.[1] 140 seats are elected from ten 14-seat constituencies (1st–10th constituencies) by open list proportional representation using a 5% electoral threshold, with seats allocated using the d'Hondt method. Voters can give their "preference vote" to a single candidate on the list, but only candidates who have received at least 10% of the party's votes take precedence over the other candidates on the list.[2] A further three seats are elected in a special electoral district (11th constituency) for Croatian citizens living abroad
Eight seats are elected from a constituency for national minorities (12th constituency), with three seats for Serbs and one each for Italians, Hungarian, Czechs and Slovaks, Albanians/Bosniaks/Macedonians/Montenegrins/Slovenes and Austrians/Bulgarians/Germans/Jews/Poles/Roma/Romanians/Rusyns/Russians/Turks/Ukrainians/Vlachs. Voters with the right to vote in the 12th constituency can choose to either vote for a candidate list on the ballot in the district they belong to according to their place of residence (one of the ten geographical districts) or for a candidate of their minority in the 12th constituency.[3]
Candidate lists may be proposed independently by one political party or by two or more political parties (coalition list) which are registered in Croatia on the day the decision to call the elections is announced, or by voters. Voters can propose independent candidate lists by collecting 500 signatures of residents of the constituency the list is running in.[4]
