ZAGREB, Feb 22 (Hina) - Applications of lists of candidates for
elections in constituencies of local government and self-government
can be submitted by February 24 at midnight, and lists of
candidates for the Croatian Parliament House of Counties can be
delivered by midnight on February 26.
Colours of ballots were chosen and those were white, sandy,
lilac, apricot and turquoise, while the Croatian national electoral
commission had given up from red, yellow and blue colours in order
to avoid associations with parties' colours, the commission's head
Ivan Mrkonjic said at a news conference on Saturday.
Asked about elections in the Croatian Danubian area and asked
whether UN Transitional Administrator of the area, General Jacques
Klein, had called the elections, Mrkonjic said that there were two
interpretations - according to one way of interpretation, there is
no need for calling elections as they have been called in the
entire territory of Croatia, and according to the other
interpretation, the elections should be called there.
Mrkonjic told the conference that Gen. Klein said that if
necessary, he would call the elections in the Croatian Danubian
area under Croatian election laws. The national electoral
commission held two meetings with UNTAES officials and delivered
them material concerning elections, and the answer would be known
in days.
The time frame for submitting lists of candidates in the
Danubian area was the same: until 24 February and until 26 February
for local elections and the Upper House elections respectively,
Mrkonjic told the conference and added that in case the time frame
was extended, the same would go for displaced persons.
Speaking of a procedure for standing the elections, Mrkonjic
said that for a list of candidates for the House of Counties
candidates should certify their consent at the office of a notary
public. Lists of candidates for local elections should be certified
by a responsible electoral commission. Lists of political parties
should be signed by authorised persons or their authorised agents.
One candidate can be included both in a list for local
administration and on a list for a county assembly, but if she or
he are elected on both levels, they must chose one post.
However, if a candidate is elected both in a local
constituency and for the House of Counties, she or he will be able
to assume both posts, according to Mrkonjic.
Lists of candidates for local government and self-government
would be published by local media, whereas lists for the Upper
House will be released in all Croatian dailies and the Croatian
Radio and Television, the head of the national electoral commission
said.
