The President was elected indirectly by the legislature. Vote percentages use valid assembly ballot outcomes, including recorded votes against a sole candidate; these are not shares of national voters. Public turnout remains null. Candidate affiliation is distinct from parliamentary nomination/support. Each ballot has its own denominator; failed ballots are not marked as elected outcomes. The early election followed Pál Schmitt’s resignation; it was not a scheduled end-of-term selection.
