The number of representatives to the Parliament to be elected from candidate slates in the special electoral constituency for voters without residence in the Republic of Croatia shall be ascertained as follows:

– the total number of valid votes that each slate won (slate voter pool) is to be divided by the numerals from 1 to 3 conclusively, also taking into account the decimal places. Of all the sums obtained, the third sum shall be the common denominator with which the total number of valid votes for each candidate slate (slate voter pool) shall be divided. Each candidate slate shall win as many of the three representative seats as the number of times the total number of its valid votes (slate voter pool) contains the common denominator, including decimal remainders,

– preferred votes for individual candidates are taken into account if the number of preferred votes of a particular candidate is at least 10% of the votes won by a particular slate,

– candidates elected from each slate are those who win the greatest number of preferred votes. Where two or more candidates win the same number of preferred votes, the deciding factor shall be the order on the candidate slate,

– if, pursuant to subparagraphs 2 and 3 of this Article, the number of representatives elected is not the number of mandates belonging to a particular slate, representatives are assigned to the remaining positions on such slate based on the order on the slate.

With Article 26 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 44 was amended.
