Hungarian parliamentary elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hungarian parliamentary elections determine the composition of the Hungarian parliament.

Procedure since 2014

Elections to the National Assembly, the unicameral legislative body of Hungary, take place every four years.[1] The members are elected by universal and direct suffrage.[1] 106 members are elected in single-member constituencies. The rest 93 members are elected from party lists[1][2] and the 13 ethnic-minority lists.[3]

Voter and candidate eligibility

Any Hungarian citizen over the age of 18 who hasn't been disenfranchised by a court is eligible to elect the members of the National Assembly and to stand for election.[1][4]

A candidate may run either as a member of a political party or an electoral bloc or as an independent candidate.[1] The law requires candidates to run in only one electoral district. Candidates are required to collect 500 voter signatures in their district.[1]

Voting location and times

Voting takes place from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM.[1]
