CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR : HUNGARY SEEKS VOTES FROM ABROAD full article link here! VERY IMPORTANT NEWS! By , Contributor / September 3, 2013
"
For the first time, ethnic Hungarians living abroad will have the right to vote in Hungary’s national elections next year... The government says that 480,000 people have applied for citizenship, and thousands have registered to vote, after a 2010 law allowed non-residents with Hungarian ancestry to become citizens and participate in national elections... Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is betting these new citizens will support his Fidesz party. The government’s populist, nationalist message includes frequent reminders to a policy of uniting ethnic kin that live beyond Hungarian borders."
This means that thousands of those who have applied for dual citizenship in countries such as Romania and Slovakia will vote in 2014, and interestingly, those of you who are American Citizens but who wish to also have Hungarian citizenship may apply for this and also vote.
To get the citizenship you must be able to speak HUNGARIAN.
