Today (April 3rd) citizens of Hungary are voting in parliamentary elections.
Hungarian parliament (unicameral *Országgyűlés*, National Assembly) consists of 199 members, elected for a **4-year** term, by a rather complex system using two methods: 106 (53%) seats are elected in single-member constituencies, using [FPTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-past-the-post_voting) voting; and remaining 93 from one country-wide constituency, using a rare [Scorporo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorporo) system, being a hybrid of parallel voting and the mixed single vote.
**Turnout** in last (2018) elections was 70.2%.
Because of mentioned FPTP element, and continued victories of FIDESZ party (ruling since 2010), opposition eventually decided to run on one, united list, with a PM candidate and single-member constituency candidates chosen via a [primary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Hungarian_opposition_primary) held last year. However, FIDESZ is still polling first.
Relevant parties and alliances taking part in these elections are:
