Local elections were held in Croatia on 25 May 2001. It was the third time the country had held local elections since independence, and the first time since democratization.
Voting at 6,430 separate polling stations across Croatia for members of representative bodies of local and regional self-government units, the citizens elected members for a total of 423 municipal and 122 city councils, as well as members for 20 county assemblies, and the Zagreb City Assembly. At the time of these elections, Croatia had a total of 3,886,702 registered voters.[1]
Councilors of regional and local council were elected by a closed list proportional system. The electoral threshold was set at 5%. The number of councilors elected depended on the population of each constituency. Municipalities and towns up to with up to 3,000 inhabitants elected between 7 and 13 councilors, municipalities and towns up to 10,000 inhabitants elected between 9 and 15 councilors, municipalities and cities up to 30,000 inhabitants elected between 13 and 19 councilors, cities with over 30,000 inhabitants elected between 19 and 35 councilors, while the City of Zagreb elected 51 councilors. For county councils between 31 and 51 councilors were elected, with no connection to the number of inhabitants. In some constituencies the total number of seats differed slightly due special additional seats for national minorities which were assigned independently.[2][3]
