szavazóurnák

A szavazóurna, commonly translated as ballot box, is a container used to collect and secure votes in an election. It is a fundamental component of the voting process in democratic societies worldwide. Typically, szavazóurnák are designed to be transparent or have a slot through which ballots can be inserted, preventing any tampering or the removal of ballots once they have been cast. Their primary function is to ensure the secrecy of the vote while maintaining the integrity of the election results.

The design and material of szavazóurnák can vary significantly depending on the jurisdiction and the specific electoral regulations. Historically, they were often made of wood or metal. In modern elections, plastic or transparent materials are frequently used, allowing election officials and observers to visually confirm that the box is empty before voting begins and that ballots are being placed inside correctly. After the polls close, the szavazóurna is sealed and transported to a counting center where the ballots are tallied. The security and proper handling of the szavazóurna are crucial for public trust in the electoral system.
