Overview

The Croatian tracker compiles the limited published nationwide support series available for parliamentary parties and alliances. It keeps source labels and dates explicit because coalition composition can change and the national table does not represent every electoral constituency.

Electoral system context

Most representatives are elected proportionally in territorial districts, alongside separate arrangements for voters abroad and national minorities. District magnitudes, list thresholds and geographic support affect representation, so a national voting-intention figure cannot be converted directly into seats.

Party and bloc rationale

The local balance groups SDP-led, Možemo, Workers' Front, Centre, IDS and HSS entries against HDZ-led, Homeland Movement, DOMiNO, Most and related right lists. Liberal, pensioner and other lists remain outside. This is country-specific navigation, not an official classification.

Polling limitations

Pollsters may report parties, coalitions or named leaders on different bases, and a small national series can make apparent movement volatile. Diaspora and minority contests are outside ordinary national party polling, while missing rows and changing alliance keys are not interpolated.
