The election for the 20th Bremen citizenship of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen took place on May 26, 2019 parallel to the European elections.

At the same time were Bremerhaven city council and the councils of the City of Bremen elected.

Electoral system

The cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven form two separate electoral areas with different electoral lists and separate application of the five percent hurdle . Since 2011, an electoral system has been in place in Bremen in which every eligible voter can distribute ( cumulate and variegate ) five votes on lists or applicants contained therein .

By law of February 27, 2018 (Brem.GBl. P. 34), the number of members to be elected in the Bremen electoral area was increased by one to 69 and in the citizenry to 84 in total. At the same time, the allocation of seats within the lists was changed, so that it is more difficult for applicants on the lower list to get a seat.

Lists

The “voting slip” for the Bremen citizenship 2019 is an A4 notebook in landscape format with 20 pages used in the Bremen election area.

Lists had to be submitted by March 18, 2019 at the latest. Parties and electoral associations that have not been represented in the German Bundestag or in the citizenship due to their own election proposals without interruption since the last election had to report their participation to the state returning officer by February 18, 2019 and prove their status as a party or electoral association. They also had to provide support signatures for their lists from one thousandth of those eligible to vote in the electoral area. The lists of the following parties and electoral associations have been approved (in the order on the ballot papers):

Coalition statements

The SPD basically ruled out a coalition with the CDU and the FDP nine days before the election, so a red-green-red coalition remained the only power option for the Social Democrats in view of the polls at the time. The Greens did not commit to any preferred coalition.

For the first time since the Second World War, the SPD had lost a relative majority of the votes and the CDU became the strongest party in the Hanseatic city. However, the SPD, Greens and Left agreed on a coalition agreement so that the SPD will continue to provide the mayor of Bremen . After the previous mayor and top candidate of the SPD, Carsten Sieling , announced his resignation, Andreas Bovenschulte was elected as his successor on August 15, 2019. The planned alliance means the left's participation in government for the first time in a West German state.
