Bundestagswahl

The Bundestagswahl is Germany’s federal parliamentary election, held every four years to choose members of the Bundestag, the national parliament. Citizens aged 18 and over vote to select representatives who will create laws, oversee the government, and shape national policies. The election employs a mixed-member proportional system, combining direct constituency votes with party list votes to ensure proportional representation. The party or coalition with the most seats typically forms the government, with the Chancellor elected based on parliamentary support. This process reflects Germany’s democratic framework, allowing citizens to influence national leadership and policy direction.
