SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a 'record-breaking 77.8 percent turnout.' While the evidence confirms multiple election dates and general information about Hungarian elections (e.g., Wikipedia entries for 2026 election), none of the provided web search or Wikipedia results mention a specific turnout figure of 77.8% for the recent election. Therefore, this specific numerical claim cannot be corroborated.
