From Reuters: A new bridge in Hungary could be named after Hollywood action movie actor Chuck Norris unless the trend turns in an Internet vote organised by the Economy Ministry.
Votes for the "Chuck Norris Bridge" had attracted 8,725 votes or 11 percent by Tuesday morning, just ahead of those cast in favour of naming it after Hungarian humorist Geza Hofi and three times more than for Szent Istvan, founder of the state. |
site has a link to the actual voting |

Actually, the vote is not for the name. There is no voting.
The site is asking for suggestions for the name, not actually voting on what the name will be. Anyone anywhere can send suggestions, as long as they can speak (or at least type) Hungarian. You can even enter "Dave's".

| According to the results, Chuck's got only 7% of the vote. He's currently in fourth place. Two are tied with the lead at 18%. |
