Unless you are being paid a very large sum for your vote, I doubt that it would be worth your while to vote in the U.K., take a plane to Hungary, vote there, and take another plane back to the U.K. Just thinking about it is exhausting!
If your other citizenship were Irish or French, however... 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Postal votes?

I didn't consider those. 
In my defence, Israel doesn't have them; either you go to your assigned polling place on Election Day, or you lose your vote.

In the UK, we have them so that the elderly and infirm can still vote.
It also gets used by people who are on holiday at the time, want to vote for their wife because they don't trust her to "vote right", and such abuses.

These are the reasons for non-implementation in Israel. OTOH, we do have wheelchair-accessible polling stations for those who are invalids.
Having a national ID card (including photo) does help to keep down election frauds at the polling station. That's not to say that election fraud is unknown; only that it requires more planning.

I am eligible for Paddyship; I've just not ever bothered.
As for voting, for any Hungarian election your vote can be cast at the nearest Embassy and London isn't that far!

I'm sure that both countries would be delighted if you vote in either or both. After all, nobody else does (turnout at the last election, UK 36%, Hungary 29%)!

Time for a harmless clue may be?

Is the first half "Ordered"?

The second half is numbers?

Also 7B!

okay then the full answer is 'ordered-numbers'?
As both words have been mentioned by others already
Though the numbers are not in order

You're up on Monday! (Since you were the first to give both halves of the answer).
They are ordered
The solution (for those that missed it)
5612621-4830267
ORDERED NUMBERS
(I would have accepted ORDERED NUMBERS or ORDERED-NUMBERS)
Take the distinct characters from the solution:
ORDENUMBS
Sort them (hence "ORDERED")
BDEMNORSU
Take the index of each letter:
BDEMNORSU
012345678
Substitute those back into the original:
5612621 4830267
Replace the space with a hyphen so it looked more like a sum:
5612621-4830267
Clue 1 was simple: just work out the sum!
5612621 - 4830267 = 782354
Using the letter substitutions gave:
782354
SUEMON
Which you could put back into the original:
5612621-4830267
O..E.E.-NUM.E.S And you should have got it from that!
