Citizenship election areas in Bremen

The election takes place separately according to the two elective areas in a list election according to proportional representation . This leads to the nationwide peculiarity that the five percent hurdle is also applied separately according to the electoral areas and a result of more than 5% in one of the two electoral areas leads to the party in question sending members to the citizenship, even if they are at the level of the country is below 5%. In the event of resignation from the citizenship, successors from the relevant party list of the respective electoral area move up.
