Once the registration decision becomes final, a minority spokesperson can be elected if at least one registered minority voter casts a valid vote for the list on April 12.
A national minority self-government may submit a list for the parliamentary election if its assembly approved the decision by February 2. In addition, at least one percent of voters registered as belonging to that minority must support the list with their signatures.
According to information from the Budapest government office, the assembly of the Serbian National Self-Government did not decide on candidates before the February 2 deadline.
As a result, it cannot submit a minority list for the April 12 election, meaning only 12 minorities will be able to field national lists.
For the National Slovak Self-Government, 15 endorsements were required to submit a list.
Minorities must nominate at least three candidates to submit a national list; the newly registered Slovak list contains 27 candidates.
The first candidate on the list—Antal Paulik—would become the minority spokesperson.
Minority self-governments that submit national lists may send a spokesperson without voting rights to Hungary’s parliament if they fail to obtain a preferential parliamentary seat. Such a seat can be secured if the minority list receives at least one-quarter of the votes required for a party to win a mandate.
Minority self-governments were able to collect signatures and submit their national lists to the NVB until 4 p.m. on March 7.
Once the decision registering the national lists becomes final, the Slovak national self-government will also be entitled to delegate a member to the NVB, though that member may vote only on matters affecting minorities.
