She has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2020 as a member of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (Vajdasági Magyar Szövetség, VMSZ).

Private career

Ökrész is a graduated economist living in Temerin.[1] She became the director of Magyar Szó (English: Hungarian Word), the leading Hungarian-language newspaper in Vojvodina, in 2012 and remained in this role until her resignation on November 2022.[2][3][4][5] She has also worked in Vojvodina's secretariat of education and culture and served on the board of directors of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina.[6]

Politician

Local politics (2004–16)

Ökrész received the twenty-fourth position on the VMSZ's electoral list for the Temerin municipal assembly in the 2004 Serbian local elections.[7] The party won three seats, and she was not elected.[8] She later appeared in the lead position on the party's list for Temerin in the 2012 local elections and was elected when the list again won three seats.[9][10] She served in the local assembly for the term that followed and was not a candidate for re-election in 2016.

Parliamentarian (2020–present)

Ökrész appeared in the sixteenth position on the VMSZ's list in the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election.[11] The list won six seats, and she was not elected.

The VMSZ led a successful drive to increase its voter turnout in the 2020 parliamentary election and won a record nine seats. Ökrész, who appeared in the tenth position on the party's list, was not immediately elected but received a mandate on 1 December 2020 as the replacement for Annamária Vicsek, who had been appointed to a secretary of state position.[12][13] In her first term, Ökrész was a member of the culture and information committee and the committee on the rights of the child; a deputy member of the committee on finance, state budget, and control of public spending; a deputy member of the committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and poverty reduction; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Finland and Portugal.[14]

She was promoted to the fifth position on the VMSZ's list in the 2022 parliamentary election and was re-elected when the list won five mandates.[15] She is now a member of the culture and information committee and the finance committee; a deputy member of the labour committee, the European integration committee, and the committee on the rights of the child; a member of the subcommittee for the consideration of reports on audits conducted by the state audit institution; a substitute member of Serbia's delegation to the parliamentary dimension of the Central European Initiative; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Croatia, France, and Slovakia.[16]
