Section 277
 

(1) For voters listed in the register of postal voters – except for those who requested to collect the voting package in person – the National Election Office shall send the voting package by mail immediately after the postal ballot paper for the vote is prepared. If a voter has given an address for the ballot paper to be collected in a country which prohibits double citizenship, the voting package shall be delivered by the National Election Office through the foreign representation.


(2) Voters with no Hungarian address who requested to collect the voting package in person by the twenty-fifth day before the day of voting pursuant to Section 92 (2) b), may collect the voting package from the fifteenth day before the day of voting at the time determined by the president of the National Election Office, or on voting day during the time of voting, in an election office,


a) in a parliamentary single-member constituency seat settlement indicated by the voters, or


b) in another settlement indicated by ministerial decree, or


c) at the foreign representation indicated by ministerial decree.


(3) The president of the National Election Office shall so determine the manner of the reception in person of the voting package under (2) as to allow it to happen between at least 09:00 and 16:00, on working days, from the fifteenth day before voting. The president of the National Election Office may determine the beginning of the period 09:00-16:00 at an earlier time, and the end of the period 09:00-16:00 at a later time, and may extend the reception in person to Saturdays that are not working days, to Sundays and to holidays.
