Választási

Választási is a Hungarian adjectival form meaning “electoral” or “relating to elections or selection.” It is formed from the noun választás (election, choice) with the suffix -i, which creates adjectives that describe nouns.

The term is used across political, legal, and civic discourse to modify nouns connected to the process of choosing or voting. It can refer to institutions, laws, procedures, events, and periods associated with elections. Common phrases include választási rendszer (electoral system), választási törvény (electoral law), választási kampány (election campaign), választási időszak (electoral period), and választási nap (election day).

Grammatically, válaszási functions as an attributive adjective and normally appears before the noun it modifies, agreeing in number with that noun (e.g., választási rendszer, választási rendszerek). Because választás has a broader sense of both “election” and “choice,” válaszási can also appear in contexts emphasizing the act of choosing beyond formal elections, though its use in non-political contexts is less common and usually clarified by surrounding terms.

In Hungarian political terminology, válaszási is a standard form used to distinguish matters related to the electoral process from other kinds of choice or selection. It is typically encountered in governmental, academic, and media discussions about democratic procedures, voting regulations, and election administration. See also választás (election/choice) and választási rendszer (electoral system).
