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]
