Választókat

Választókat is the accusative plural form of the Hungarian noun választó. The word has several related but distinct meanings depending on context, and its plural accusative form is used when the voters or selectors are the direct object of a sentence.

In political and electoral language, választó (plural választók) commonly refers to the electorate or voters—people who have the right to vote in elections. In formal or legal contexts, választók may be preferred to szavazók, although szavazók is widely used in everyday speech. The form választókat appears in sentences where the voters are the direct object, for example when describing actions directed at voters or when reporting their responses.

In a technical or mechanical context, választó can denote a device that selects among options, such as a switch or selector. Here too, plural forms follow the same declension: választók (nominative) and választókat (accusative). Such devices are used to route signals, choose input sources, or configure settings in electrical or electronic equipment. The meaning depends on whether the focus is on the act of choosing (the voters) or on the mechanism that performs selection (the switches).

Etymologically, választó comes from válasz- to choose or select, and the term is commonly found in Hungarian texts related to voting, decision-making processes, and technical components. The plural accusative form választókat is a standard grammatical ending in Hungarian for masculine nouns of this type. See also választók, választókapcsoló, szavazók.
