ZAGREB, Dec 29 (Hina) - Croatia's National Electoral Commission President Marijan Ramuscak on Wednesday told reporters that the Commission had unanimously decided to allow the organisation of the voting for Croatia's parliamentary
elections on the territory of Yugoslavia. Polling stations in that country should be set up in Kotor, Subotica and Belgrade. This means that the election for the Croatian House of Representatives will be conducted in 47 countries after Yugoslavia also consented to the organisation of Croatian elections on its land. Ramuscak said a total number of eligible voters is 4,169,028 and the election will be carried out by 66,520 members of electoral committees.

The Commission also decided that on the day of the ban on the
electioneering (January 2), videos of the non-governmental
organisation "GONG" could be broadcast which call on citizens to go
to the polls. Those videos contain neither direct nor indirect
political message for whom voters should cast their ballots,
Ramuscak added.
An actor, Bozidar Alic, who played in a promotional video of the
ruling HDZ called "3.5 per mille" and who complained to the
Commission that he was receiving frequent threats on the phone
after the airing of the video, was advised by the Commission to
report the case to the authorised police station.
An official of the Institute for Data Procession, in charge of the
procession of results of the election, dismissed allegations
published by a Croatian weekly which claimed that it was possible to
rig election results by computer. The official, Jadranka
Dugandzic, said the institute had drawn up solutions that are in
line with professional and information technology standards. There
are also special systems for the protection of data from
unauthorised usage, she added.
