Summary/Abstract: Elections imply mass political participation, a type of collective decision through which preferences are being communicated to the political leaders The elections in Croatia were conditioned by the historical circumstances (changing the political set-up), as well as by the type of voting rights, election regulations, and persons involved in the electoral process. The outcome of the elections was such that the political spectrum in Croatia acquired a bi polar and asymmetrical shape within which the smaller political parties of the centre have only minor importance. The multy-party parliamentary elections in Croatia are an initial presupposition for the establishment of a democratic order which also means that they restore a legitimate topic of research to political science.
