Választandó

választandó is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb választani (to elect, to choose) with the suffix -andó, which creates a present passive participle meaning “to be chosen” or “to be electable.” In use, it describes a person, office, or position that is to be filled by election, or that is eligible to be chosen in an upcoming election.

The term is commonly found in political, administrative, and organizational contexts. It is typically placed before the noun it modifies, as in választandó képviselő (a candidate to be elected) or választandó tisztségviselő (an office to be elected). In legal or procedural texts, választandó can denote status pending an electoral decision, emphasizing the prospective nature of the selection rather than a completed outcome.

Etymologically, the form reflects Hungarian morphology for nominalized adjectives derived from verbs. The suffix -andó contrasts with other participial forms such as -ott/−ett (past participle) and with -ható/-hető (capable of, possible). The related terms néhány hasonló szó a választott (elected), választottak (those who have been elected), and választható (eligible or selectable) help distinguish completed results from potential outcomes.

In summary, választandó denotes a state or quality tied to election: something or someone that is to be chosen in a forthcoming process, or deemed eligible to be chosen, rather than already selected. It is a standard term in Hungarian political and administrative language.
