The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is investigating the circumstances of the Vojvodina mail-in voting after a leaked audio recording.
The Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding postal voting in Vojvodina following a leaked audio recording. The recording features Árpád Fremond, president of the Hungarian National Council in Vojvodina, discussing strategies for collecting votes for the upcoming Hungarian elections. The audio raises suspicions of electoral fraud, as Fremond suggests that activists should not prevent voting on behalf of deceased relatives or distant relatives. The Ministry has stated that it will provide updates on the investigation's findings. Fremond has dismissed the leak as a smear campaign, claiming it is an attempt to discredit him during the election period. The recent elections in Vojvodina saw the VMSZ party maintain a significant majority, while a new party, VMÚ, gained notable support.
