In the European Parliament election, voters residing in Hungary can also transfer to any other settlement in Hungary, but there are conditions for transferring in the local government election.
Due to the common procedure, if the voter transfers to a municipality where he does not have a place of residence, he can only vote in the EP election in the designated voting district of the indicated municipality, while in the municipal election he remains on the register of the voting district according to his place of residence.
If someone is not present at their place of residence (previously known as their permanent address) during the June 9 election of local government representatives and mayors, they can also vote for the candidates based on their place of residence (previously known as their temporary residence) if they initiate this.
However, the voter can use this option only if he established his place of residence at least 30 days before the election, i.e. until February 11, and does not cancel it until the day of the election.
Voters can apply online, www.valasztas.hu , or from the clerk of any municipality, to exercise their right to vote in the municipality where they live. The application can be submitted until 4 p.m. on May 31. So far, more than 1,400 voters have registered for the municipal election.
The voter can request a mobile ballot box even in case of re-registration, if he is unable to appear at the polling station due to his health condition, and he requests the mobile ballot box to his registered place of residence or another address belonging to the same voting district.
The possibility of re-registration is also open to voters of nationalities, with the additional stipulation that if the voter re-registers for a settlement where the nationality in question does not have elections at the settlement or regional level, then the possibility is lost that the nationality self-government at the settlement or territorial level vote for your candidates.
