Abstract
The author deals with lists of voters in the area of Lika-Krbava County. The analysis covers the period of the electoral reform from May 1910, which significantly increased the number of citizens with the right to vote. Lika-Krbava County consisted of ten constituencies, including the towns of Senj and Karlobag on the Croatian Littoral and eight electoral districts in Lika. With regard to the property tax census, which was the basis of electoral law, it can be determined that this county was recognisable by the smallest number of voters in relation to other Croatian counties. In the introductory part of the text, data about the election results until the reform of 1910 is presented, with an emphasis on the elections of 1908, and the subjects that were discussed the most regarding the consequences of electoral geometry are highlighted. The numerical indicators of voters in Lika-Krbava County and their voter turnout are presented, and at the end, the results of parliamentary elections from October 1910 in that area are presented.
