NGO reports election irregularities in several locations

The latest report from the Clean Voting Coalition, established by the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union and the Civil Kollégium Foundation has detailed several irregularities that occurred on election day.

As reported, in Dunaújváros, at polling station No. 18, voters are receiving ballots on which the name of the candidate who withdrew from the race has not been crossed out. In Fejér County’s 4th single-member district, Zsolt Szabó, the Democratic Coalition (DK) candidate withdrew his candidacy in favor of Ervin Nagy (Tisza Party).

In Hajdúhadház, at the polling station on Bercsényi Street, people are being escorted inside, with a gray Jeep waiting for them in front of the polling station, while in Hajdúsámson, ordinary citizens are accompanying elderly voters into the booth, claiming they asked for help with voting. In Makó, the same cars have been driving around since this morning: locals say that those organizing the transportation are in constant communication with members of the Roma ethnic minority's self-government and Fidesz's municipal representative for the area.

Reports of packages being handed out have come in from Miskolc and Kazincbarcika; in the latter town, Fidesz candidates were seen distributing packages to voters. A photo was also taken today in Kazincbarcika showing Zoltán Demeter, the Fidesz–KDNP candidate, handing a gift package to a voter.
