Electoral Cycles

We identify the parliamentary cycles' starting date by the first session day of the National Assembly after the elections similarly to the official database of the Hungarian legislature (http://www.parlament.hu/orszaggyulesi-naplo-elozo-ciklusbeli-adatai, https://library.hungaricana.hu/hu/collection/orszaggyulesi_dokumentumok/). Some electoral cycles (1861, 1910-1918, 1939-1944) were not followed continously by a next one, thus their end date is the final session day of the legislature. The electoral cycle 1922-1926 lasts until 1927, but the election of the new parliament was held in the December of 1926.
