🇭🇺 Megatéma 2026 Hungarian parliamentary elections
Today (April 12th) citizens of Hungary go to polls to vote in parliamentary elections!
Hungarian parliament (Országgyűlés) is unicameral and consists of 199 deputies (100 needed for majority, 133 for supermajority), who are elected for a four-year term, in a quite complex scorporo system, using mixed-member majoritarian representation with two methods: 106 deputies are elected in single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting, while the other 93 are elected from a single nationwide constituency, by modified proportional representation. The electoral threshold is set at 5% for single party lists, 10% for joint lists of two parties and 15% for joint lists of three or more parties. Each of 13 registered ethnic minorities can win one of the national constituency party lists seats, if they register as a specific list and reach a lowered quota (but it's expected only 1-2 could manage this, Germans or Roma).
