Local elections, as the main topic of this paper, have been important for citizens from the very beginning of elections up to the present day. In 1848, only 3% of the population of Croatia had the right to vote, while in 1990, the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia legalized full democratic voting rights. Voting rights are legally restricted only by formal citizenship, residence, age limit, mental health, and civic honor of the individual, as well as registration in the voter list, which is a legal-technical prerequisite for exercising voting rights. According to the provisions of the Local Elections Act, the Government of the Republic of Croatia calls local elections for members of representative bodies and for municipal mayors, city mayors, and county prefects, thereby initiating the nomination process for proposing candidate lists for members of representative bodies and candidates for municipal mayor, city mayor, and county prefect by authorized proposers. The electoral committee is responsible for electing representatives and allows voters to vote secretly for a representative or for the executive body of the local and regional self-government unit. The term “incompatible duties” appears in the further text, meaning that one cannot simultaneously be a municipal mayor and a city mayor, or their deputy, as well as a county prefect and their deputy. Other incompatible duties are more clearly explained in the further text of the paper. This final paper will present the procedure for conducting local elections using the example of the city of Vukovar for the years 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2021.
