The 2019 Croatian national minorities' councils and representatives elections took place on 5 May. The elections were the fifth minority elections since 2003 and near 254,000 citizens of Croatia were entitled to vote on them.[2][3] In total, 352 councils and 109 representatives were up for election.[2] 14 minority groups were electing their councils while 20 minority groups were electing representatives.[2] 6,686 candidates in total participated in elections which were conducted at 846 polling places.[2] Elections for councils took place in 19 counties of Croatia, City of Zagreb, 68 cities of Croatia and 108 municipalities of Croatia.[2] Elections for representatives took place in 19 counties, City of Zagreb, 34 cities and one municipality.[2]
Major challenge to this and all previous minority elections in Croatia is low voter turnout with 3,93% turnout from 07:00 till 11:30 A.M.[4] Some media warned about possibility that minority elections risk being overshadowed by the campaign for the 2019 European Parliament election in Croatia which are taking place on May 26.[5]
