Parliamentary elections were held in Hungary between 28 May and 2 June 1922. [1] The result was a victory for the Unity Party (a renamed National Smallholders and Agricultural Labourers Party), [2] which won 140 of the 245 seats in Parliament, the vast majority in "open" constituencies where there was no secret ballot. [2]
Prior to the elections the United Party-led government changed the electoral system in order to ensure it retained its leading position. [2] This involved reintroducing open elections and restricting the electoral census. The reforms were passed by a decree by Prime Minister István Bethlen as Parliament had already been dissolved.
The country was divided into 219 constituencies, of which 215 were single member constituencies and four were multi-member constituencies. Of the 215 single member constituencies, only 20 used the secret ballot, with the remainder (which were rural constituencies) [2] using open elections. [3] All four multi-member constituencies used secret ballots. [3]

Bulgaria has a multi-party system in which often no one party has a chance of gaining power alone and parties must work with each to form governments.
Federal elections were held in Germany on 19 January 1919, although members of the standing army in the east did not vote until 2 February. The elections were the first of the new Weimar Republic, which had been established after World War I and the Revolution of 1918–19, and the first with women's suffrage. The previous constituencies, which heavily overrepresented rural areas, were scrapped, and the elections held using a form of proportional representation. The voting age was also lowered from 25 to 20. Austrian citizens living in Germany were allowed to vote, with German citizens living in Austria being allowed to vote in the February 1919 Constitutional Assembly elections.
