Választóik

Választóik is a Hungarian term used to refer to the voters belonging to a particular group, such as a political party, candidate, or government. It is the third-person plural possessive form of the noun választó (voter, elector) and translates roughly as “their voters” or “the electorate of them.” The word appears frequently in political analysis and journalism to indicate the electorate associated with a specific actor.

The base word választó denotes a person who participates in voting or who makes a choice in a collective decision. The possessive form választóik specifies ownership or relation, signaling the voters that are attached to the referenced group. The expression thus emphasizes the relationship between a political actor and its constituency.

Usage and nuance: választóik is commonly paired with verbs and phrases that describe political strategy, expectations, or performance related to that electorate. It can convey a formal tone; in everyday language, speakers might opt for szavazóik (their voters) or választói bázis (electoral base) depending on context. While szavazók is a broader and more neutral term for voters in general, választóik highlights a specific group’s electorate.
