Választókerületi

Választókerületi is a term used in Hungarian politics to describe the electoral districts used for the election of members to the National Assembly, the Hungarian Parliament. The term translates to "constituency" or "electoral district" in English. The concept of választókerületi is rooted in the Hungarian electoral system, which is based on a mixed-member majoritarian (MMM) system. This system combines elements of both proportional representation and majoritarian representation.

In the Hungarian electoral system, the country is divided into 106 választókerületi, each represented by one member of the National Assembly. This member is elected using a first-past-the-post system, where the candidate with the most votes in the district wins the seat. Additionally, the country is divided into 14 multi-member districts, each represented by a varying number of members, depending on the district's population. These members are elected using a proportional representation system.

The választókerületi system aims to ensure that each district has a direct representation in the National Assembly, while also allowing for a degree of proportionality at the national level. This is achieved through the multi-member districts, which ensure that the overall composition of the National Assembly reflects the national distribution of votes. The választókerületi system has been in place since the adoption of the current Hungarian constitution in 2011.
