The opposition Socialists and the E14-PM alliance have called for Hungary's election law to be changed, arguing that the recent flawed election in Baja in the south of the country revealed severe shortcomings in the law.
Tamas Harangozo of the Socialists and Gergely Karacsony of E14-PM also demanded that the National Election Committee state its position in connection with the interim local elections at Baja, in which voters were bussed into a polling station in one of the wards.
The two lawmakers said on Thursday that loopholes in current regulations must be closed.
"The outcome of the 2014 election should be decided at the polls rather than in court," Karacsony said.
He cited witness accounts of a person delegated by the local council sending text messages from the voting station about people who turned up to cast their ballots. Karacsony said such activity seriously violated the principle of secrecy at the election. The parties expect the National Election Committee to ban the use of telecommunications devices by members of the vote counting committee, he said.
