ELECTION CAMPAIGN: THE HUNGARIAN STATE IN ACTION 19 Apr 2022

After a 50-day official campaign period, general elections were held in Hungary on 3 April, and FIDESZ, in government since 2010, won a supermajority for the fourth time. The election results are hardly surprising given the government's gravity in campaigning. 

To map campaign spending, K-Monitor conducted research with three main pillars. From the beginning of the campaign period until 31 March, K-Monitor identified 200 cases where candidates had tried to increase their political base by using public funds or public offices. Decisions of the state bodies assigned to monitor the fairness of elections were also analyzed. In cooperation with TI Hungary and Political Capital a flash report has been published on outdoor advertising in Hungary’s election campaign.
