Probably more than 200,000 voters without permanent home address in Hungary and and 23,000 with permanent home address but not staying in Hungary, want to express judgement on the last 4 years of Hungarian politics.
Slightly more than 231,000 people with a right to vote but no permanent home address in Hungary applied for vote in letter, according to the Hungarian elections office. Mr. János Áder, President of Hungary set the date of the parliamentary elections in Hungary for Sunday, April 6, 2014. Letters must be received by the Hungarian elections office by the 5th of April. 1472 vote have been already sent to the Hungarian elections office and 1210 to the representation offices abroad, but they can be opened only after 7 p.m. next Sunday.By now 195,000 of the 231,000 are eligible to receive a voter’s package, 36,000 rejected and
the rest is under consideration. 168,00 of the 195,000 voter’s package have been shipped out already.
The main reason for rejection is double application, - said Ilona Pálfy, the president of the election office. That means that some of the 231,000 application was an unnecessary.
Most application was sent from Romania (100,000) and Serbia (30,000).
Hungarian citizens living abroad but having a permanent home address in Hungary has to register. Application deadline is Saturday, 29th March. By now they are 4000 in London, 2500 in Müchen, 1500 in Brussels, and from all over the world altogether 22,804 people with a permanent home address in Hungary who filled out a successful registration, in many cases not at first trial.
