Fidesz proposes holding EP and municipal elections on same day

Holding the two elections in 2024 on the same day is expected to save HUF 9-10 billion (EUR 23-25m) and will require amending the constitution.

Máté Kocsis, ruling Fidesz’s group leader, said a proposal on holding the European parliamentary and municipal elections in Hungary on the same day will be submitted to lawmakers next Tuesday. Holding the two elections in 2024 on the same day is expected to save HUF 9-10 billion (EUR 23-25m) and will require amending the constitution. The Fidesz group will also table proposals regarding rules for MPs joining and quitting a parliamentary group and on reducing the length of parliamentary speeches, he said.
