Author: Marija Šestan

ZAGREB,  24 April (Hina) - Until the expiry of the deadline for the submission of slates at midnight Tuesday, the State Electoral Commission (DIP) received a total of 25 lists for the elections of the 12 Croatian members in the European Parliament which Croatia is holding on 9 June.

Thus, 23 party slates and two slates of independents were given to the DIP, the spokesman for the DIP,  Slaven Hojski, said after the deadline ran out.

The DIP is expected check the validity of the lists in the next few hours. There are now eight fewer lists than five years ago.

The official campaigning starts upon the announcement of the valid lists.

The ban on electioneering is in force on 8 June and on 9 June until polling stations are closed.

All the parliamentary parties and coalitions are running in the elections for Croatian members of the European Parliament.

Apart from them, also the current MEP Ladislav Ilčić, is also participating in the elections on his slate which includes independents.

Elections are viewed as an occasion for promotion of one's own political views, ideas or activities and there are non-parliamentary parties or some flamboyant public figures who are using this opportunity for this purpose.

These are fourth EP polls in Croatia

This will be the fourth time for Croatia to hold the elections for its representatives in the European Parliament.

Just before its admission to the European Union in mid-2013, Croatia held its first elections for the European Parliament on 14 April 2013. Those candidates were elected for a one-year term which lasted before the regular EP elections throughout the European Union which were organised from 22 to 25 May 2014.

Five years after that, the third EP elections took place in Croatia.

MEPs from Croatia elected by direct universal suffrage and secret ballot for 5-year term

Members of the European Parliament from Croatia are elected by direct universal, free and equal voting right and secret ballot for a five-year term, the DIP recalls on its web site.

The elections are held in the course of the last year of the five-year term of the European Parliament in the electoral term set out by the Council of the European Union. The President of the Republic of Croatia delivers the decision on calling the election for members of the European Parliament.

"Right to be elected member of the European Parliament  have all Croatian citizen who have reached the age of eighteen years as well as nationals of other Member States of the European Union, who have permanent or temporary residence in the Republic of Croatia under the Aliens Act,  if they  are eligible to stand as a candidate pursuant to the   Act on the Elections of Members of Parliament from the Republic of Croatia to the European Parliament and provided that in the Republic of Croatia and Member State of the European Union they are citizen of, they were not deprived of their right to stand as a candidate by an individual court judgement or administrative decision against which legal remedy can be filed, as well as  that they are enrolled into the voters' registry of the Republic of Croatia," says DIP.
