One hundred and sixty thousand will be able to vote in Debrecen in April
Debrecen – The head of the municipal organization department at Debrecen Television also talks about the election announcements, recommendations and the referendum.
The election campaign officially began on Saturday. On April 3, we will not only decide on the members of parliament, as there will be a referendum at the same time, which has never been seen before in Hungary. What are the rules for the campaign? Where can and cannot such an activity be carried out? Among other things, Lukácsné Kiss Viktória, the head of the municipal organization department, spoke about these in the program entitled Evening Close-up of Debrecen Television.
Electoral notices had to be received by voters by February 11, stating exactly where they should go to vote. However, if someone did not receive it or leaves it in the meantime, they cannot find a new one at the local election office, said Dr. Viktória Lukácsné.
He added that the Old Town Hall will be responsible for nominating and recommending candidates, while voters will be able to handle matters related to notification, re-enrollment, requesting a mobile ballot or other list requests at the New Town Hall.
– At the New Town Hall we have opened a separate window for this in the large customer area, at the window 15 the voters and the www.debrecen.hu telephone numbers where you can get more information are also available
– He told.
The head of the organizing department also talks about the fact that the nominating organizations could later request a recommendation form for the recommendation sheets, which will be issued to them by 8 a.m. on Saturday. Candidates must collect 500 valid recommendations and submit them to the election office.
– A person can nominate more than one candidate, but one candidate only once, it is not possible to enter his / her details on the recommendation form more than once. The recommendation is irrevocable, and for referral voters, there is a rule about what should be on the referral form: the voter’s name, ID, address, and handwritten signature, he added.
Mrs. Lukácsné Kiss Viktória said that according to the data on Friday morning at 9 o’clock, 37 of the parties’ candidate organizations had been legally registered, which can already be set as a candidate. He added
There are approximately 160,000 voters in Debrecen, who are entitled to elect members of parliament and to hold a national referendum.
Not just an election, a referendum
The head of the organizing department said, “this is a completely new situation for election offices,” but the legislation addresses the key issues of “holding a joint referendum and parliamentary election”.
He pointed out that in constituencies, voters will receive a referendum sheet in addition to the party-listed ballot paper with the four questions on it.
Viktória Lukácsné Kiss drew attention to the fact that when voting, everyone should bring an identity document (this could be an identity card, driver’s license or passport) as well as the address card.
