CroatiaCroatia's Minister of Justice, Administration, and Digital Transformation, Damir Habijan, announced proposed changes to the Electoral Register Law and an Ethical Code for local and regional government employees during a press conference. The reforms aim to modernize the electoral system by integrating data through a centralized platform aligned with national information infrastructure standards. This would reduce manual administrative tasks and streamline voter registration processes. Notably, voters whose identification documents have expired will no longer need a 'blue confirmation' certificate to vote at polling stations, saving administrative costs. However, voters wishing to cast ballots outside their place of residence still require prior registration. Additionally, a proposal for an Ethical Code for local and regional government staff is set to enter public consultation in August or September.
