Under the bill, there will be two records of voters - a register and a list.
The register is an electronic database of voters eligible to vote - those residing in Croatia, those without permanent residence in Croatia, and those who are citizens of European Union countries.
The list on the other hand will be an ad hoc list compiled for every election, comprising of voters from the register provided that they have a valid identity card or have registered to vote in an election.
The addresses in the electoral register are based on the register of spatial units, which is also the basis for the Interior Ministry's permanent residence records.
Croatian citizens without permanent residence in Croatia who want to vote in an election will have to register in diplomatic and consular missions.
Croatian citizens with permanent residence in Croatia who want to vote abroad or outside their place of permanent residence will have to register to vote before an election.
