Electoral system
Councilors of regional and local council are elected by closed list proportional system with a number of seats depending on number of inhabitants in area. By law, municipalities with up to 3,000 inhabitants elect between 7 and 13 councilors, municipalities with between 3,000 and 10,000 councilors elect between 9 and 15 councilors, municipalities and cities with between 10,000 and 30,000 inhabitants elect between 13 and 19 councilors, cities with over 30,000 inhabitants elect between 19 and 35 councilors, while the City of Zagreb elects 51 councilors. Counties numbers between 31 and 51 councilors, regardless of population. The electoral threshold was set on 5%. The number of seats can differ from above mentioned because of special seats for national minorities that are given independently.[2][3]
