Voters head to the polls in Hungary on Sunday to elect a 199-seat parliament, which could give current Prime Minister Viktor Orban a fourth straight term.
Some 7.8 million voters will cast their votes at more than 10,000 polling stations from 6 a.m. (0400 GMT) local time until 7 p.m. (1700 GMT). Preliminary results are expected to come out in the evening.
Polls predicted a narrow win for Orban's Fidesz party and its allied Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP).
Orban, 58, had been in power between 1998 and 2002
