Government. Days from polling day to the Sabor's vote of confidence: 2016 (11 Sep to 19 Oct; from Wikipedia, not checked against sabor.hr), 2020 (5 Jul to Thursday 23 Jul; vlada.gov.hr 'Sabor potvrdio povjerenje novoj Vladi koju će predvoditi Andrej Plenković' gives the weekday), 2024 (17 Apr to Friday 17 May; vlada.gov.hr 'Izglasano povjerenje Vladi Republike Hrvatske', 79 votes). A government market needs a deadline beyond the longest precedent and the 30+30-day mandate limit of Constitution arts. 109-109.a. Not before Thu 20 Jul. Precedents: 38 and 18 and 30 days from polling day.

precedent

Voting runs 07:00-19:00 local (Zakon o izborima zastupnika art. 79.a); on 15 Jul 2028 Croatia is on CEST (UTC+2), so polls close 17:00 UTC. The DIP 'nakon zatvaranja birališta može objavljivati privremene i neslužbene rezultate' (art. 94(1)). 2024 precedent (polling 17 Apr 2024, press live blog, not the authority): DIP's first provisional release came at 21:00 CEST with 24% of polling stations processed; 99.70% at 06:37 CEST and 99.79% at 11:30 CEST on 18 Apr (dnevnik.hr, 'Rezultati izbora: Obrađeno više od 99 posto biračkih mjesta'). The window closes at 14:00 CEST the next day, 2.5 h past precedent. Provisional and unofficial, not the official result.

precedent

Constituency commissions must total their polling stations within 24 hours of the close (art. 89); polling boards abroad send their records to the DIP within 48 hours (art. 87(2)). The DIP then 'utvrđuje' and publishes the results by constituency with the seats won and the members elected (arts. 91-92), which opens the 48-hour objection period (art. 98). 2024 precedent: DIP 'Rezultati izbora zastupnika u Hrvatski sabor' by constituency dated 19 Apr 2024, two days after polling (izbori.hr/site/UserDocsImages/2024/Izbori_za_zastupnike_u_Hrvatski_sabor/Rjesenje19042024.pdf). The opening (24 h after the close) is an ESTIMATED floor; the window closes at the end of Wednesday 19 Jul 2028, CEST, two days past precedent. Not yet the official result: art. 94(2) holds that back until appeals are exhausted.

Constitution art. 74: the new Sabor first sits no later than 20 days after the election is completed (in 2024 counted from the official results: results 29 Apr, first sitting 16 May, convened by the President's decision of 9 May, per sabor.hr press release 'Konstituiran 11. saziv Hrvatskoga sabora'). Art. 109: the person given the mandate presents the government and its programme to the Sabor within 30 days of accepting it, extendable by 30 days (art. 109.a); the government takes office when a majority of all members expresses confidence. No government before the Sabor is constituted, so not before the official result (window floor shared with final-result, an ESTIMATE).
