Talk:Elections in Croatia

Issues in elections
I've already pointed out a few missing details, and I've seen they have been incorporated already. My way of thinking was to present not just the legislative framework of the elections, but their real-life mechanics. To e.g. an American reader, the general concept is familiar, but the details are different. Very important things that influence the way elections are conducted are: Possible starting point: http://hrcak.srce.hr/31318. GregorB (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Campaign finance (American way: finance is yours alone. Croatian way: the government partly reimburses you.)
 * Media coverage (American way: other than normal media coverage, you get what you pay for. Croatian way: you get some "free time" guaranteed by law on the national TV.)
 * Internal party candidate selection system (major differences, obviously).


 * Excellent point and a useful source! Thanks for the advice, I'll put something together on the campaigning (primarily funding and media coverage) first and then proceed to the third item. It might also be of interest to include some info on the State Electoral Commission (esp. since it is used as a source) as well as on physical format of a ballot (just because of differences to the US and other countries), Voter Register and documents required to identify oneself at a polling station in order to vote. Perhaps even a bit about voting at home, mail-in votes and similar issues. And maybe even something else along those lines anyone can think of.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe even something about number of signatures required to stand in an election and appeals process...--Tomobe03 (talk) 18:00, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That's right: no voting machines in Croatia, everything is hand-counted... You can vote even if you're imprisoned... Etc., many differences compared to the US, and many of them interesting. (Of course, I'm comparing things to those in the US not because the article should do that too, or because it's the golden standard, but because the US system is familiar to many - myself included - and quite different from electoral systems in Europe.)

 * Indeed, perhaps something on the Election monitoring in Croatia should be there too...--Tomobe03 (talk) 18:20, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * And perhaps the infamous problem of voters' registration and voters' lists... (Great work on the expansion, BTW.) GregorB (talk) 17:29, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Good point. I'll add the voters register info shortly.
 * Well, "shortly" indeed... You're unbelievably quick. GregorB (talk) 18:18, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Who can vote?
This article misses information on who is eligible to vote in which elections. What about EU-citizens? Like elsewhere I'm sure they can vote in town and city elections. But what about counties? And what about the City of Zagreb which is both city and county?

I couldn't find any English information on the subject. But there must be sources on the subject (at least in Croatian) as this issue was relevant in the 2017 local elections.

Navigation template and independence
For a while now, we've had this weird issue where 1990 elections are clumped together with every other in lists. This article makes some effort to talk about the 1990 elections as special, and then uses the simple phrase "since 1990", but then still lists those together with others, which then seems to have led to Croatian elections listing those with others with no caveats. That's a step too far IMO, because independence of Croatia is not a trivial event to be skipped over in the making of lists. I've apparently been arguing about this for years, but practically nobody noticed. Here's a link: Template talk:Croatian elections, in hopes someone else can chime in. --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 10:28, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
