Article 21
 

Voters may propose candidate slates on the basis of validly collected signatures.


The signatures of at least 500 voters are required for a valid nomination of an electoral constituency slate for the election of representatives to the Parliament.


With Article 20 of the AAAECSP (Official Gazette 53/03, which entered into force on 2 April 2003), the words: "House of Representatives of the Parliament and the county slate for the election of representatives to the House of Counties of the Parliament" were replaced by the word: "Parliament".


With Article 13 of the Act on Amendments to the Act on the Elections of Representatives to the Croatian Parliament (Official Gazette 19/15), which entered into force on 25 February 2015, paragraph 2 was partly amended.


The person authorised to represent an independent slate, in accordance with the provisions of this Act, shall be the first candidate on the slate.


The independent slate shall include the same number of candidates as the number of representatives elected to the Parliament.


If the person making the nomination proposes fewer candidates than the number of representatives to be elected to the Parliament, in other words, if the requirement referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article is not met, the independent slate shall not be valid.


With Article 13 of the Act on Amendments to the Act on the Elections of Representatives to the Croatian Parliament (Official Gazette 19/15), which entered into force on 25 February 2015, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 were added.
