During the election campaign, organisers are not required to notify police about an election rally in advance. They are, however, required to obtain a written permit from the relevant local government office or relevant authorities for the use of public areas. 

Meanwhile, the National Election Office (NVI) said on Saturday that voters in this year’s election can register online at valasztas.hu and magyarorszag.hu to verify that their signature has been listed in support of an individual candidate. The measure is aimed at enhancing transparency by allowing voters to report any suspected misuse or fraud, NVI said.
