The Election Commission of the City of Kaštela has announced the final results and lists of persons who, based on Sunday's vote, have gained the trust of the citizens and will form the convocations of the Council of Local Committees in the coming period. You can see the lists below...

TURNOUT RATE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN 8 PERCENT
According to provisional, unofficial results, the citizens of Kaštela who voted in these elections for local councils, as expected, gave the most votes to the HDZ, and in seven local councils their candidates will form the majority in the next four-year term, in one they will not have a majority, and in one they will have the same number of members as one of the independent lists.

After the results from the first six polling stations, the results from the ten remaining polling stations in Kaštela arrived in a short time.

Tonight at 19 pm, the polling stations across Kaštela where the elections for local councils were held closed. The first ballots arrived at the City Election Commission from the polling station number 5 in Kaštel Gomilica.

In nine local committees in Kaštela, adult Kaštela residents today have the opportunity to cast their vote for one of the 20 candidate lists  choosing the people who will receive  69 mandates in local councils. In the first five hours since the polls opened, a small number of voters turned out, less than three percent.

This morning at 7:00 a.m., 16 polling stations were opened in nine local councils in Kastelani where citizens can vote for new members of the council of local councils, on a total of 20 candidate lists.

Tonight, at midnight, the election campaign for the local council elections in Kaštela ends, which will be held on Sunday, September 25. The election silence begins at the first second of Saturday and lasts all Saturday and on election day, Sunday, until the polls close.

Markica Teklić as the incumbent and candidates Zrinka Matković Viculin, Danica Žarko, Jakov Mihaljević, Lucija Skorup, Draško Kuliš, Tadija Teklić, Nedo Šapina and Anto Komljen are the names on the candidate list of the HSP-DP-HDS coalition, for which voters of Kaštel Lukšić will be able to vote in the elections for local councils on Sunday.

- Over the last 30 years, the duties and obligations of the presidents of local committees in Kaštela, with only a few exceptions, have been performed by HDZ members - said the president of the Kaštela HDZ Ivan Udovičić at the presentation of this party's candidate lists, which will be before voters in the race for local committee councils.

During the campaign leading up to the elections for local councils, criticisms from some candidates on the candidate lists were directed at the work of the local councils so far, with remarks about their inactivity, inefficiency, lethargy and satisfaction with political forms. Doris Grgurin, the current president of the local council in Kaštel Kambelovac, who is also participating in the upcoming elections as the head of the HDZ candidate list in that town, strongly disagrees with such criticism.

Dear friends and fellow citizens, the elections for local councils on September 25th are important elections for our localities, especially because of the SDP's advocacy for a reform in which the work of local councils would be the most direct form of cooperation with citizens and citizen participation in their work. Citizens would thus be the initiators and, depending on the needs, implementers of projects important to their locality.

In the term that is about to expire, the HSP in Kaštel Sućurac participated in the work of the Local Committee Council with three members, or a third of those who led the local committee. Individuals who participated with the HSP in the previous elections for the local committee councils are running in these elections on one of the independent lists, and the HSP is entering the race with a large number of new forces, both younger and those with concrete experience.

Most has decided, for the first time, to run a list of seven members and independent candidates for councilors in the elections for the local board of Kaštel Stari. The list includes young people, young families, business people, medical professionals and retirees.

Although she has been fighting for the interests of Kaštel for many years, especially her town of Kaštel Stari, through the work of the County Assembly and the City Council, Mostovka's Milija Baldić-Lukšić has decided to be even more at the service and disposal of her fellow citizens through the work of the Kaštel Stari Local Board Council, and she will try to get the opportunity to do so in the elections for local board councils this Sunday.

Although it was initially officially announced that 21 candidate lists would participate in the elections for local councils on Sunday, September 25th, after the legal deadline for appeals and decisions, it is clear that voters will have one fewer list, 20, and the list of the HSP-DP-HDS coalition in Rudine has been eliminated.

Unencumbered by party affiliation and eager for betterment for their place, a candidate list of a group of voters, led by Ante Garbatija, is also appearing in Sunday's elections for local councils in Kaštel Kambelovac.

- The local council should be at the service of citizens and their fastest and most efficient connection with those who make decisions in the city. The local council should be the initiator of initiatives and the first step in the implementation of projects important to the city. So far, this has not been the case in our local council and we are running in these elections to change that - said Marko Melvan, the head of the list, a master's degree in economics, at the presentation of the HSP-DP-HSD ​​coalition's candidate list in the Kaštel Štafilić local council.

The Administrative Department for General Administration of the Split-Dalmatia County has informed the public that, in accordance with regulations and deadlines, the voter list for the city of Kaštela has been completed, in connection with the upcoming elections for local councils.
