German Federal Election

Germany’s Federal Election is a process where citizens vote every four years to choose members of the Bundestag, the national parliament. These members help decide government policies and appoint the Chancellor, who leads the country. Elections use a mixed-member proportional system: some representatives are elected directly in districts, while others are selected from party lists to ensure proportional representation. Parties campaign on issues like economy, climate, and social policies. The results determine the majority coalition that forms the government. Voters cast their ballots to influence leadership and national direction through this democratic process.
