Croatia is holding elections on Wednesday to elect its 151-member parliament.

The ruling center-right Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), led by Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, faces an alliance of centrist and left-wing parties informally headed by President Zoran Milanovic and his Social Democratic Party.

Some 3.7 million voters will choose between more than 2,000 candidates. Polling stations open at 7 a.m. (0500 GMT). Exit polls are expected minutes after voting closes at 7 p.m. Official results are expected in the following days.

The most recent polls by IPSOS see HDZ taking 60 seats in the 151-seat parliament, more than any other party but not enough to take an outright majority. Coalition talks are expected to follow the vote.
