Electoral districts of Croatia

In Croatia, when it comes to choosing their leaders, they divide the country into smaller areas called electoral districts. Think of it like a big puzzle of Croatia, and each piece of the puzzle represents a different electoral district.

Now, people who live in each electoral district get to vote for their favorite candidate to be the leader. This way, everyone's voice is heard and each district has a say in who becomes the leader of the country.

Each electoral district has a certain number of people living in it. Some districts have more people, like big cities, while others have fewer people, like smaller towns or rural areas. This way, each district is represented fairly based on its population size.

To make sure everything is fair, the electoral districts are carefully drawn on a map. It's important that the districts are drawn in a way that gives everyone an equal chance to have their voices heard. This means that they try to make sure that each district has a similar number of people living in it, so that no one's vote is more or less important than someone else's.

Once the electoral districts are formed and people vote in their own district, the votes from all the districts are counted up to see who the majority of people in the country want as their leader. The person who gets the most votes becomes the leader of Croatia.

By dividing the country into electoral districts, Croatia is able to have a fair and balanced way of choosing their leaders, where everyone's vote counts and no one is left out.
