Roma party campaigns against registration as minority for spring election

Election 2014

(MTI) – Hungary’s Roma Party (MCP) on Friday placed a batch of over 2,000 voided application sheets at the National Roma Self-government headquarters (OCO) in Budapest to protest against the registration of the Roma as y minority for the spring general election.

Hungary’s electoral law requires voters who register for the autumn minority elections to indicate on the registration sheets whether they wish to cast their ballots on the list of their respective minority or on a political party list in the general election. It follows that if a Roma is registered as a minority voter, he or she loses the possibility of voting for party lists.

Jozsef Radics, leader of MCP’s Pest county chapter, said they collected but crossed out to invalidate the registration sheets instead of undersigning them because they “consider themselves first and foremost Hungarians” and would not want to have the only option to vote on a list compiled solely by OCO.
