Hungary's Fidesz May Scrap By-Elections
- 9 May 2013 9:00 AM
Fidesz plans to abolish parliamentary by-elections between July 1 of this year and the 2014 general election, news website Index has reported. Caucus leader Antal Rogán confirmed that the party is examining the possibility of such an interim regulation, as any by-election after July could not be held before November.
Moreover, as the constituency boundaries have been changed, he said, voting would take place at a cost of Ft 20 million in constituencies that will no longer exist next year.
As no parliamentary seats are vacant, no by-elections are scheduled.
