European Parliament elections were held in Croatia for the first time on 14 April 2013 to elect twelve Members of the European Parliament .[ 1] The members served the remainder of the Parliament's 2009–2014 term after Croatia entered the European Union on 1 July 2013. The country formed a single constituency , with members elected by proportional representation using open lists .[ 2] [ 3]
Despite opinion polling predicting a decisive victory of the governing centre left SDP -led coalition, the centre right HDZ -led coalition won a razor-thin plurality of the vote.[ 4] The turnout of just 20.8% was the lowest turnout in a national election in modern Croatian history.[ 5]
