About 6,750 polling stations in Croatia were opened at 7 am on Sunday at which 3.74 million eligible voters are electing members of parliament for the second time in ten months.
About 2,500 candidates are running for 151 seats in parliament - 140 are elected in ten constituencies in Croatia, eight are elected by members of ethnic minorities in Constituency 12 and three by Croats residing abroad in Constituency 11. Eligible citizens can vote for 177 slates in 11 constituencies and for 29 candidates in Constituency 12.
The early parliamentary election is being monitored by about 12,000 observers, including about 8,000 from the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) party. Nearly 80,000 people are working on the election.
This is the second parliamentary election in which citizens can give a preferential vote.
"This is the first early parliamentary election and voters' responsibility for the political situation, the state of democracy, seems bigger to me," State Election Commission (DIP) president Branko Hrvatin has said, urging citizens to go to the polls.
Polling stations will close at 7 pm. Voting is also possible in 49 other countries, yesterday and today.
DIP will publish the first incomplete results at midnight today.
