Citizens of other European Union member states living in Croatia need to register by May 9 to be able to exercise their voting rights in the upcoming elections for the European Parliament on June 9.
Every person who holds citizenship of an EU member state is automatically an EU citizen. This status allows for the enjoyment of certain additional rights and benefits such as freedom of movement and work in other countries, as well as the opportunity to participate in democratic processes - such as the right to vote and stand as a candidate in elections for the European Parliament and local elections in the member state where the person resides.
EU citizens can vote in their country of origin, from abroad, or in the member state where they live, provided they vote only once.
To be able to vote, registration is required. Registration is done by submitting an application for registration in the voter register to the competent administrative authority no later than 30 days before the elections according to the place of residence in Croatia. Since the European elections will be held on Sunday, June 9, 2024, the deadline for submitting the application is May 9, 2024.
