Summary/Abstract: The article gives an overview of the election administration under current electoral rules, in particular the scope of activities and the composition of the State Election Commission of the Republic of Croatia, as well as the composition and duties of lower level election commissions and voting committees. The author proposes revision, consolidation and harmonization of the legal framework for elections in a single electoral code (law) that would regulate all types of elections with specific chapters addressing different aspects of local, parliamentary, and president elections. Improvement of specific aspects such as candidate registration, media, violation of election campaign rules and voting of persons with disabilities are suggested. The author also elaborates on the importance of amending the Law on Constituencies and Law on Voter Lists.
