szavazólap

Szavazólap is the Hungarian word for a ballot paper. It is a piece of paper used in elections where voters mark their choices. The design and content of a szavazólap vary depending on the specific election and the electoral system in use. Typically, it lists the candidates, parties, or proposals that are being voted on.

Voters receive a szavazólap at the polling station after their identity has been verified. They then proceed to a private voting booth to mark their selection. The method of marking can differ, but it usually involves placing a specific symbol, such as an 'X' or a tick, next to the chosen option. Once marked, the szavazólap is folded and placed into a ballot box.

The integrity of the szavazólap is crucial for the fairness of an election. Safeguards are in place to prevent tampering or fraud. After the polls close, the szavazólapok are counted, and the results are tallied to determine the outcome of the election. The specific rules and regulations regarding szavazólap usage are defined by Hungarian electoral law. The term can also be used more broadly to refer to any document used for voting, including those used in referendums or other forms of public consultation.
