Key facts about Sunday's election in Hungary and possible outcomes
Published on April 10, 2026.
The Hungarian election, held in 2026, will decide on 199 members of parliament, with the prime minister elected by parliament with a simple majority of votes. The vote will take place on Sunday morning and evening, with polling stations opening at 6 a.m. (0400 GMT) and closing at 7 p.m., with the results expected to be clear by late Sunday evening. The prime minister is elected after parliament votes on a proposal for prime minister, usually the candidate of the winning party, and if parliament fails to elect a new prime minister again, the president can dissolve parliament and call a new election. The potential outcomes of the election could include a two-thirds constitutional Fidesz majority, a significant majority allowing Fidez to continue its current policies and a narrow narrow majority creating instability and a fragmented political landscape.
