Besides the very high voter turnout, the elections of 2018 are also among the hardest to predict in terms of results. Based on the turnout, analysts have two scenarios. The first is that the high number of voters favor opposition parties, while the second suggests that, besided committed Fidesz voters, many of the undecided cast their vote for Fidesz.
Regardless of the outcome of either scenarios, the victory of the ruling Fidesz-Christian Democrat (KDNP) coalition seems certain, the only question being whether it will get a two-thirds majority. The first results are not expected before 10 p.m. local time at the earliest.
