GONG reported that 79 mobile teams were visiting polling stations in all counties. GONG monitors have been sent to Croatian embassies and consular offices in Graz, Vienna, London, Paris, The Hague, Zurich, and Mostar and Orasje in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Six mobile teams are monitoring elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Cooperation with voter committees and election commissions is mostly good, GONG said. Following reports by GONG monitors, placards with the photo of presidential candidate Jadranka Kosor were removed from locations in the vicinity of several polling stations in Slavonski Brod-Posavina and Osijek-Baranja counties and in Trogir and Zagreb.
GONG activists reported violations of the voting procedure at two polling stations in Grude, Bosnia-Herzegovina, where boxes with ballots were not sealed. The voter committee at a polling station in Prozor-Rama, also in Bosnia-Herzegovina, was composed of members of the same party.
GONG warned that Croatian citizens with permanent residence in Croatia were voting in Bosnia-Herzegovina without permits necessary for out-of-country voting. It also noted that a large number of voters were entered subsequently into voter lists in Mostar, Siroki Brijeg and Prozor-Rama.
Breaches of the electioneering ban regarding the distribution of leaflets supporting Jadranka Kosor and Stjepan Mesic were reported in several municipalities. A vehicle displaying placards with Kosor's photo was spotted in one municipality.
On Saturday GONG received numerous reports by citizens regarding violations of the electioneering ban, which was reported to the State Election Commission.
