The turnout was key to Hungary's victory. Without the extra 10 percent compared to 2022, the result could have been different.

Mr. Orban, overconfident in his result, left the electoral system that rewards majorities unchanged. Tonight, it favored the opposition.
Hungarians voted out Mr. Orban.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.

Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.

It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.

THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

Then we look for the party list with the second-highest amount of votes. We continue this way until all mandates are distributed. (the end)

The columns contain natural numbers starting from 1. The first row shows the number of votes the party list won. Below it are half of this amount, then one third, and so on in this order. The party with the highest number receives the first mandate. (2)

The mechanics of the d’Hondt method explain why the vote result is insufficient to determine the number of mandates in the election in Hungary.

At first, only parties that passed the 5 percent electoral threshold participate in the distribution of mandates.

The constituency winner benefits twice: by winning the mandate and by crediting surplus votes to the party on the national list. The loser also benefits. The constituency may be lost, but the votes won there are not. (3)

These are surplus votes. Votes cast for the defeated candidate are not lost and are also considered when allocating the 93 list seats. (2)

Hungary's opposition will likely secure the supermajority. The D'Hondt system of mandate distribution and a compensatory vote may both help.

The party of the winning candidate in a constituency is credited on the list side with the number of votes by which that candidate leads the runner-up. (1)

The turnout at the close (at 7 p.m.) was 77.8 percent, up 10 percent from 2022 in Hungary's elections.

The 21 Research Center survey indicated the most likely result.

The opposition party Tisza received 55 percent of the vote.

Thirty-eight percent of the voters backed Mr. Orban's party.

The turnout in the Hungarian election at 5 PM was 74.2 percent, up 11.3 percent from 2022.

High turnout may help the opposition since the vote counting involves the D'Hondt method, which rewards majority winners.

This time it may not be Mr. Orban's party.

“A doctrine insulates the devout not only against the realities around them but also against their own selves. The fanatical believer is not conscious of his envy, malice, pettiness and dishonesty. There is a wall of words between his consciousness and his real self.”
