abstract="BACKGROUND: Phillips and Feldman reported a decline in suicides leading up to the American presidential elections, but Wasserman argued that elections had no impact on suicide. Aims: The present study explored the impact of elections on suicides in Hungary. <br><br>METHOD: The study examined changes in the number of suicides in Hungary during the period 1990-2010 on the days of parliamentary elections, and in the weeks and months surrounding the elections. <br><br>RESULTS: There was no significant impact from the elections on the number of suicides. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The data from Hungary replicated the results of Wasserman rather than those of Phillips and Feldman.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
