The 2015 Croatian parliamentary election is scheduled to be held on Sunday November 08,2015 to elect 151 Members to the Croatian Parliament - Hrvatski sabor
The Sabor is composed of 151 members elected to a 4-year term on the basis of direct, universal and equal suffrage by secret ballot
140 members of the parliament are elected in multi-seat constituencies, 8 from the minorities and 3 from the Croatian diaspora
About 3.8 million Croatians eligible to vote
Background to the Election
The 2011 Parliamentary Election held on Dec 04,2011 resulted in the victory of the Center Left Kukuriku Coalition led by the Social Democratic Party and supported by the Croatian People's Party -Liberal Democrats,Croatian Party of Pensioners and the Istrian Democratic Assembly
The largest Opposition party is the Center Right Croatian Democratic Union
Other smaller opposition parties are the Croatian Labourists - Labour Party and the Croatian Democratic Alliance of Slavonia and Barania
The previous 7th Assembly of the Croatian Parliament was dissolved on September 28,2015, with the President of Croatia Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic subsequently being tasked with scheduling the elections on a Sunday within 60 days of the dissolution
Neither camp is expected to win an outright majority in the 151-seat parliament, making it likely that the government's make-up will be decided in post-election talks with smaller parties.
