Izbori u Riječkoj županiji i njezini zastupnici na Hrvatskom saboru 1861. godine
Elections in the Rijeka County and Its Deputies to the Croatian Parliament of 1861

Summary/Abstract: The first parliamentary elections in the Rijeka County were held in 1861. Five deputies were to be elected, so this paper presents the election process in all five districts of the county. Deputies were elected in regular as well as repeated elections, which occurred due to certain doubts about the election procedure or the withdrawal of individual deputies from the parliamentary mandate. The author analyzes the activity of the elected representatives of the Rijeka County in the Parliament of 1861, i.e. their compliance with the Instruction issued by the County, which contained guidelines for their parliamentary activities as well as other parliamentary work. However, as the Rijeka County gave instructions to other representatives from its area as well, i.e. representatives of privileged marketplaces and municipalities, these have also been included in the analysis of parliamentary work and compliance with the Instruction of the Rijeka County.
