According to a statement from the international election observation mission of the Liberty Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (LCFFE), Hungarian voters were able to cast their ballots for members of the next Parliament in a democratic and free election. According to their statement, following several weeks of preparatory work, on election day more than 80 LCFFE observers monitored the electoral process throughout the country. During their work, the observers inspected more than 70 polling stations in 45 individual constituencies.
Overall, the election observers assessed the election process and what they observed at the polling stations positively, and said they did not witness any significant incidents that would have substantially affected the integrity or proper execution of the election process. Mission members are currently continuing their work, monitoring the counting of votes in several polling stations. The election observers said they did observe some incidents during their work, but neither individually nor collectively did those incidents indicate a failure to meet European election standards.
