ELECTION RESULTS FOR THE SECOND SESSION
CF THE REPUBLIC PEOPLE'S ASSEMBLIFS OF YUGOSLAVIA
The following report is one of several taken from.Informativni
prirucnik O Rpelnvili~ a handbook published irregularly since
late 1948 by the Yugoslav Directorate for Information.
Election Laws
In the autumn of 1946, the Yugoslav republics elected their constituent
assemblies to enact their constitutions. In December 1946 - January 1947, the
constitutions were enacted, and the constituent assemblies were transformed into
People's Assemblies. Since the republic constitutions stipulated a 4-year term
for the assemblies, the terms of the first assemblies expired either at the end
of 1950 or at the-beginning of 1951, depending on the republic.
Before concluding their first session, the People's Assembly of each repub-
lic examined the existing suffrage law under which the constituent assemblies
were el cted. The enactment of the federal suffrage law of 21 January 1950, the
experience acquired during previous elections, and the general desire to develop
Yugoslavia and its republics as socialist democracies were influential in making
changes in and amendments to the suffrage law.
These changes and amendments have not altered the general principles of
Yugoslav suffrage rights, such as universal, equal, and direct suffrage, secret
voting, freedom of choice for voters, the uninominal fo-ne-party] election sys-
tem, and participation in and supervision of elections and election procedures
by the people and their organizations.

The new laws for election of the republic People's Assemblies differ from
previous election laws as foil .3:
1. In most republics the per-capita ratio per assembly member has been re-
ducel. The new law in Croatia provides for one assembly member to represent
15,000 citizens, instead of 21,000 as formerly; in Bosnia-Hercegovina for one
assembly member per 10,000 instead of 15,000; in Montenegro for one assembly
memripere2,50P instead of 3,500; and in Slovenia for one assembly member per
,000 7,500. In Serbia and Macedonia there was no change in the
ratio of representation since it was already satisfactory.
2. While previous election laws applied the principle of relative major-
ity, the new law considers a candidate elected if he receives an absolute major-
ity more than 50 percent of the total number of votes cast. In computing this
majority, ballots which are cast against the candidates whose names are on the
official slate are not considered. The absolute majority principle was intro-
duced in accordance with the federal law on Election of Members to the People's
Assembly of Yugoslavia. The application of this principle requires a new elec-
tion if no candidate gets an absolute majority. All candidates have the right
to run in the second election. The absolute majority principle also applies
here. However, if no candidate gets an absolute majority in this new election,
the candidate with the largest number of votes is considered elected.
3. The new election laws stipulate that a fixed number of citizens are
entitled to propose a candidate. Previous laws accorded this right alternately
to political and social organizations t., the one hand and to a fixed number of
citizens on the other. Although this does not mean that political organizations
are eliminated from organizing elections or proposing candidates, the new laws
enable citizens to have their own candidates so that political and social organi-
zations cannot monopolize the appointment of candidates.
The new laws do not permit an association of candidates in an electoral
srez to run as a unit. Such an association of candidates does not conform to
the absolute majority principle, because it might mean the election of a candi-
date whose unit had received an absolute majority of votes although he himself
might not have received an absolute majority if he had run by himself.
4. Among the measures aimed at democratizing the suffrage system is pro-
vision of a box in which votes may be cast against official candidates. This
box has become a general institution in the Yugoslav election system, and has
been permitted at all elections except those for the republic constituent as-
semblies.. It was allowed at elections for the second term of the republic as-
semblies, making it possible for voters dissatisfied with the official slate
to cast their vote against official candidates.
5. Except in Croatia, the new suffrage laws stipulate that all citizens
of Yugoslavia who are registered as voters in a particular republic have the
right to vote. Previous laws gave suffrage rights only to residents with a
permanent job in the republic concerned.
6. In agreement with the federal suffrage law, the republic election Jaws
contain several additional new regulations. They emphasize the principle that
voters have the right of recall of assembly members before they finish their
term of office. The new laws also stipulate the right of the Presidium of the
republic People's Assembly to determine the number of assembly members to be
elected and to divide the territory of the republic into equal electoral srezes.
The republic election commissions formerly had this right. The new laws contain
more definite guarantees regarding suffrage rights, and a number of regulations
for perfecting election procedures.

Elections
After the liberation, the second regular elections for the highest republic
offices were held in accordance with the decrees of the presidiums of the repub-
lic People's Assemblies. Elections for the People's Assembly of Serbia were
held on 18 March 1951, for the People's Assembly of Croatia on 5 November 1950,
for the People's Assembly of Slovenia on 18 March 1951, for the People's Assembly
of Bosnia-Hercegovina and for the People's Assembly of Macedonia on 3 December
1950, and for the People's Assembly of Montenegro on 8 October 1950.

338 elinto ectoral electoral
srezes, 214 sof on the
which
were in Serbia, 85 in the Autonomous Province of the Vojvodina, and 39 in Kosovo-
Methohija Oblast. Croatia was divided into 250 electoral srezes; Slovenia, 283;
Bosnia-Hercegovina, 270; Macedonia, 245; and Montenegro, 161.
By a special decree, the presidiums of the republic People's Assemblies
appointed republic election commissions, consisting of a president, secretary,
and five members. The election commissions appointed srez election commissions,
consisting of a president and two members. Election councils were the third
agency for conducting elections, directing the voting in polling places. Each
council consisted of three members, three alternates, and representatives of
the candidates.
The voting rights of citizens are established through their registration
in voters' registers. According to the law on voters' registers, every citizen
has the right to examine the voters' register, and to demand that his name be
entered if it was erroneously or illegally omitted. Voting rights are taken
away only from those citizens over 18 years of age who have been deprived of
their citizenship rights by court sentence, or have been declared mentally ill
and put in charge of a guardian by decision of the competent state authority.
After a survey of voters' registers, the republic election commissions
have announced that the following number of voters have the right to vote:
in Serbia, 4,356,816; in Croatia, 2,565,800; in Slovenia, 949,680; in Bosnia-
Hercegovina, 1,447,358; in Macedonia, 700,279; and in Montenegro, 220,205.
In comparing these totals with the number of voters registered in each repub-
lic for the election of members to the federal People's Assembly on 26 March
1950, he following increases are noted: in ? bis, 179,490 voters; in Croatia,
116,113; in Slovenia, 22,064; in Bosnia-Hercegovina, 64,899; in Macedonia,
39,956; and in Montenegro, 3,310. These increases are the result of the addi-
tion of individuals who completed their 18th year and acquired the right to vote.
The proportion of men to women in the electorate shows a preponderance of
women in all republics except Macedonia. The total number of registered male
voters in Serbia was 2,163,530 and the number of female voters was 2,233,286;
in Croatia, 1,222,711 male and 1,343,089 female; in Slovenia, 447,509 male and
502,183 female; in Bosnia-Hercegovina, 688,223 male and 759,065 female; in
Montenegro, 99,481 male and 120,734 female; and in Macedonia, 336,994 female,
and 363,285 male. This proportion is the result of the huge number of male
fatalities in World War II.
Each electoral srez elected one candidate and an alternate. The People's
Front of each republic,as a component part of the People's Front of Yugoslavia,
entered candidates in all elections, who were selected after discussions about
candidates at local political meetings, and meetings in factories, enterprises,
establishments, ai:d farm work cooperatives. The People's Front of each repub-
lic issued an election proclamation inviting citizens to vote for the unified
program of the People's Front and the Communist Partv of Yugoslavia. This

program was based on the activity and struggle for the development of socialism
and a socialist democracy, for the protection of the independence and sovereignty
of Yugoslavia, and for cooperation with all other countries to preserve peace
and eecurity in the world.
