2026 Hungarian parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary on 12 April 2026 to elect all 199 members of the National Assembly of Hungary, with 100 seats required for a simple majority government, and 133 seats required for a two-thirds supermajority with the power to amend the Constitution of Hungary. It was the 10th parliamentary election since the 1990 Hungarian parliamentary election, and election day was the anniversary of the successful 2003 Hungarian European Union membership referendum. The election had a high turnout, with more than 79% of voters taking part in the election. The incumbent Fidesz–KDNP government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was decisively beaten by the opposition Tisza Party led by Péter Magyar, ending Orbán's 16-year tenure.
