The 2024 European Parliament elections in Croatia will be held on 9 June 2024 as part of the 2024 European Parliament election.[1] This will be the fourth European Parliament election held in Croatia, and the first to take place after Brexit.

Background

Prime Minister Andrej Plenković was re-elected in the 2020 Croatian parliamentary election.[2]

Electoral system

Compared to last election, Croatia is entitled to one more MEP in this election, already assigned since 2020 in the occasion of the redistribution post Brexit. The 12 members are elected through semi-open list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with seats allocated through D'Hondt method. The electoral threshold is set at 5%, but due to the seat allocation procedure, at least one seat is only guaranteed from a vote share of at least 8.33%.[3]

All people who have Croatian citizenship and a main residence in Croatian, Croatian citizens without residence in Croatia and other Union citizens whose main residence is in Croatia are entitled to vote in the European elections in Croatia. In addition, those eligible to vote must turn 18 years old by election day at the latest. Voter registration is required only for non-Croatian EU citizen residing in Croatia, while Croatian citizen are automatically registered in their place of residence.[4]
