2. Election Information Service (VISZ)

The National Election Team runs an Election Information Service (Hungarian abbreviation: "VISZ"). Its main task is to inform voting citizens, foreigners and political parties about legal and other matters (e.g.: supplying data).

Anyone having a question can phone, fax, e-mail or write a letter to the VISZ. We will try to do our best to answer immediately, if possible, or else, if special research is needed, the answer is supplied within one or two days.

Copies of the series "Electoral Guidelines" compiled by the National Election Team are also available at the Election Information Service (VISZ).
