Hungary heads to a historic election as more than 8 million voters decide whether to keep Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in power or bring political change after 16 years.
This election, marked by concerns over electoral fairness, redistricting, and allegations of vote buying, could potentially shape Hungary's future.
Critics argue that changes to constituency boundaries and voting systems may favour the ruling party, while an investigative documentary has uncovered claims of voter intimidation in poorer regions.
