17 May 2021 - Preliminary results released by the State Election Commission (DIP) after Sunday's local elections show that six counties elected their prefects in the first round of voting. Those candidates won more than 50% of the ballot.
Of those six prefects, four are Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) representatives: Antonija Jozić of Požega-Slavona, Igor Andrilović of Virovitica-Podravina County, Ivan Anušić of Osijek-Baranja County, and Danijel Marušić of Slavonski-Brod Posavina County.
Social Democrat (SDP) official Željko Kolar was reelected prefect of Krapina-Zagorje County, and Matija Posavec, an independent candidate, was re-elected as the head of Međimurje County.
In the other 14 counties, the first two vote-getters will participate in the runoffs on 30 May.
