Polling stations opened at 6:00 and will close at 19:00 CET. The first results are expected two hours after voting concludes. Fidesz leader Viktor Orban won the most votes in the first round held on April 11, taking 206 of the 386 parliamentary seats, while the ruling Socialists took 28 and the far-right Jobbik party won 26. Orban will be forming a government after the elections, while the Socialists will be entering the opposition for the first time in eight years.
