Regular elections shall be held on the third Sunday of the month of May, every four years.

Elections for members of representative bodies of the units shall be called by the Government of the Republic of Croatia by a special decision determining the exact date of holding the elections.

In case the mandate has ceased due to the dissolution of a representative body, in accordance with a special law, the early elections shall be held within 60 days from the day of dissolution.

Not less than 30 or more than 60 days may pass from the day of calling the elections until the election day.

When a representative body was dissolved in the calendar year in which the regular elections are held, and before they are held, the early elections shall not be called and held in that unit.
