ZAGREB, January 5, 2020 – 120,000 more voters went to the polls by 11.30 a.m. in Sunday’s presidential runoff than in the first election round on December 22, the State Election Commission said. The turnout by 11.30 a.m. was 18.87% while two weeks ago it was 15.75%.

Even though the turnout is rather good, it is lower than five years ago, when in the presidential runoff between Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović and Ivo Josipović 100,000 more voters went to the polls by 11.30 a.m.

In neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina 3,500 more voters went to the polls by 11.30 a.m. than in the first election round.

Polling stations opened across Croatia at 7 a.m. in the presidential runoff in which 3,860,000 eligible voters are choosing between incumbent Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, supported by the ruling Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), and former prime minister Zoran Milanović, the candidate of the opposition Social Democrats (SDP).
