Reichstag building , seat of the German Bundestag

Plenary hall of the German Bundestag

The Bundestag election on September 26, 2021 was the election for the 20th German Bundestag . The turnout was 76.6% ( 2017 : 76.2%).

First advance was the task of the Office of the former prime minister firmly. Thus, without Angela Merkel as an informal candidate for Chancellor , the election ended with the lowest result for the Union in its history and the historically highest result for Alliance 90 / The Greens . The SPD became the strongest force with an increase in votes. The FDP was also able to gain slightly , with losses recorded in addition to the CDU / CSU , AfD and Die Linke , with the latter being below the five percent threshold and only being able to move into parliament via the basic mandate clause after the second share of the vote . For the first time since 1949, the Südschleswigsche Voters' Association , which is exempt from the 5% hurdle , won a seat.

The election result is currently being used as the basis for exploratory talks to form a government coalition of the Greens and FDP with the SPD or the Union.

meeting

In accordance with Article 39 of the Basic Law, the election had to take place at the earliest 46 and no later than 48 months after the meeting of the 19th German Bundestag, which took place on October 24, 2017. Since the election day has to be a Sunday or a national public holiday ( Section 16 of the Federal Election Act ), the Sundays August 29th, 5th, 12th, 19th, 26th, September 3rd, 10th, 17th or 24th were used for this. October 2021 into consideration.

In December 2020, Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier decided that September 26, 2021 would be election day. Federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer had proposed this date after the majority of the federal states and the parties represented in the Bundestag had voted in favor of this day and the Federal Returning Officer had not raised any objections.

The election to the House of Representatives and the District Assembly in Berlin and the state election in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania were held on the same day. The local elections in Lower Saxony were scheduled two weeks beforehand, so that runoff elections took place in parallel to the general election.

An early state election in Thuringia was also temporarily scheduled for September 26, 2021, but this date was canceled on July 16, 2021.

Electoral reform

Due to the electoral system and a more even distribution of votes than in all previous elections, which can be expected from opinion polls, it became apparent in advance that the election to the 20th German Bundestag could mean the entry of more members into parliament than ever before. That is why all parties represented in the Bundestag called for a fundamental change in the electoral law . However, there was no fundamental agreement in the current 19th legislative period . It was decided to reduce the number of balanced overhang mandates by disregarding up to three overhang mandates. The number of constituencies is not expected to drop from 299 to 280 until 2024. At the beginning of February 2021 , the parliamentary groups of FDP , Die Linke and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen filed a judicial review complaint with the Federal Constitutional Court against this electoral reform, forced by the grand coalition in October 2020 , because they considered the amendment to be a violation of equal opportunities for the parties and the principle of equality Saw choice.

While an urgent application was rejected in August 2021, the norm review action will only be examined by the Federal Constitutional Court in the later main proceedings to determine whether the new electoral law is compatible with the Basic Law .

Even with the reform, an increase in the parliament to 1,000 members was within the realm of the possible.

Constituency division

→ Main article : List of federal electoral districts for 2021

The federal territory was divided into 299 constituencies in 2021, as has been customary since the 2002 Bundestag election ( Federal Election Act (BWG) of June 25, 2020). Compared to the 2017 federal election, 17 constituencies have been redefined.

Eligible voters

→ Main article : “Germany” in the right to vote article

German citizens who were at least 18 years old on the day of the election, had had an apartment in Germany for at least three months or were otherwise habitual and were not excluded from the right to vote were eligible to vote . Since a decision by the Federal Constitutional Court in 2019, people with disabilities who are at the same time under legal supervision , those who are culpable and mentally ill have been allowed to participate in the Bundestag election . The reason for this is that no citizen may be excluded from the right to vote. The reform of the electoral law passed by the Bundestag shortly afterwards affected around 85,000 Germans, who were allowed to cast their votes for the first time in the 2021 Bundestag election.

If the other requirements were met, Germans living abroad were also eligible to vote who, after reaching the age of 14, had lived in an apartment for at least three consecutive months in Germany or otherwise resided and this stay was no longer than 25 years ago or who “for other reasons personally and directly familiarity with the political situation in the Federal Republic of Germany have purchased and are affected by them. "voters without home in Germany were only at the request of the electoral roll included.

Postal vote

As has been customary since the Bundestag elections in 1957 , German citizens have the option of voting by postal vote before the actual election date . According to the Federal Returning Officer Georg Thiel , the ultimate goal is "to achieve a high voter turnout", for which the postal vote is an important pillar. Nevertheless , according to Thiel, voting in the voting booth should be the norm.

Germans living abroad who do not have a place of residence in Germany ( Germans abroad ) also had the option, as always, of voting by letter. They had to be entitled to do this (previously residing in Germany for a long time or having a well-founded interest in the election results) and submit an original application for entry in the electoral roll for each election. As before, only a few German missions abroad provide support; there is no provision for putting up ballot boxes in the representations. Of the 3 to 4 million Germans who live abroad and are entitled to vote, only a few exercise the right to vote due to these bureaucratic hurdles. In 2017, around 113,000 Germans abroad were entered in the electoral register.

The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) was the second strongest force, but suffered its historically worst result with 20.5%. The governing parties of the 18th legislative period (CDU / CSU and SPD) together recorded a loss of 13.8 percentage points in their second votes.

For the first time, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) moved into the Bundestag. The party achieved 12.6%, more than doubling its previous election result. The Free Democratic Party (FDP) succeeded in doing a similar thing, returning to the Bundestag with 10.7% after four years of absence.

Die Linke and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen were able to record an increase in voters of around half a percentage point and achieved 9.2% and 8.9% of the second vote, respectively.

All other participating parties clearly failed because of the five percent hurdle .

Chancellor or leading candidate and list leader

Chancellor candidate or nationwide Spitzenkandidat are terms that are not anchored in electoral law, since the Federal Chancellor is not elected directly but by the members of the German Bundestag. At the federal level, however, the nomination of top or chancellor candidates is of great political importance. In the individual federal states, the list leaders of the state list of a party are also often referred to as the top candidates.

Parties with parliamentary groups

CDU / CSU

Armin Laschet, candidate for chancellor of the CDU / CSU

Chancellor Angela Merkel , who has been in office since 2005, announced on October 29, 2018 that she would not run again after her fourth term of office had expired. On February 10, 2020, the then CDU federal chairman Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer also renounced the candidacy for chancellor during the government crisis in Thuringia 2020 and announced her resignation. In January 2021, the North Rhine-Westphalian Prime Minister Armin Laschet was elected as the new party chairman (see party conference of the CDU in Germany 2021 ).

On April 11, 2021, both Armin Laschet and the Bavarian Prime Minister and CSU leader Markus Söder announced that they are both available for candidacy for chancellor. The next day, the CDU Presidium spoke in favor of Laschet and the CSU Presidium in favor of Söder. The latter had previously announced that he would accept a vote by the CDU, but insisted on “listening to the broad spectrum of the parties” instead of making decisions in the governing bodies alone. According to surveys, a clear majority in favor of Söder was among the population and also among CDU / CSU party members. The reason given for this is, in particular, its corona policy , which is perceived as stricter .

On April 13, both candidates spontaneously took part in a meeting of the Bundestag faction to answer questions from the Union MPs. Previously, the CSU regional group in particular had spoken out in favor of greater participation by the parliamentary group, which probably also had a majority behind Söder. If Laschet and Söder could not reach an amicable agreement within a week, a formal vote in the parliamentary group was also brought up for discussion. In the days that followed, several top politicians and associations from the two parties voted in favor of a particular candidate. Armin Laschet was supported by Wolfgang Schäuble , Friedrich Merz , Jens Spahn , Volker Bouffier , Daniel Günther and the Frauen-Union , Markus Söder by Alexander Dobrindt , Christian Hirte and the Junge Union and indirectly by Michael Kretschmer , Reiner Haseloff and Tobias Hans .

On April 19, 2021, the federal executive committee of the CDU voted in a special digital meeting in a secret ballot with 31 out of 46 votes in favor of Armin Laschet as candidate for chancellor. Nine board members voted for Markus Söder and six abstained. In a press conference held the next day, Markus Söder accepted the result of the CDU federal executive committee, making Armin Laschet the Union's candidate for chancellor .

SPD

Olaf Scholz, SPD candidate for Chancellor

On August 10, 2020, Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Olaf Scholz was declared a candidate for Chancellor at the suggestion of the party leadership. The decision was made over a year before the general election, making the SPD the first party in the Bundestag to choose the candidate for chancellor / top candidate.

At the time, Scholz was and is currently by far the most popular SPD politician in surveys, but controversial among the left wing of the party; It was not until the end of 2019 that he and Klara Geywitz lost the election for the SPD chairmanship against the duo from the left wing of the party, Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans . However, the same duo later proposed Scholz as candidate for chancellor.

AfD

Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel, top candidates of the AfD

The top duo was decided by members of the party members between May 17 and 24, 2021. Co-party leader Tino Chrupalla competed together with co-party leader Alice Weidel against Joachim Wundrak and member of the Bundestag Joana Cotar . Chrupalla and Weidel prevailed with around 71 percent of the vote and are thus the top duo of the AfD for the federal election.

On July 30, 2021, the state list of the AfD state association in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen was not approved. After a complaint to the federal electoral committee, the state list was approved.

Green

Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck, Chancellor and top candidates of the Greens

After some electoral successes, such as the European elections in May 2019 , in which the Greens became the second-strongest party as well as in the state elections in Bavaria and Hesse in 2018, as well as consistently high poll numbers at the federal level, the party decided to run a candidate for chancellor for the first time. The party chairmen Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck announced at the beginning of 2021 that they would agree between Easter and Pentecost as to which of the two would be candidate for chancellor.

On April 19, 2021 it was announced that Baerbock was running as candidate for chancellor. Baerbock and Habeck will appear as a top duo in the election campaign .

For the first time in their history, the Greens are running a candidate for Chancellor; so far the party has only presented top candidates. After the Union parties and the SPD, which have always nominated a candidate for Chancellor since 1949, and the FDP, which did this once in 2002 with Guido Westerwelle , the Greens are the fourth party in Germany to nominate a candidate for Chancellor. In addition, after Angela Merkel, Baerbock is the second woman in the history of the Federal Republic to apply for chancellorship.

On July 30, 2021, the state list of the Saarland state association was not approved by the state election committee due to irregularities in the list, so that the party in Saarland cannot be elected with the second vote. This decision was finally confirmed by the federal electoral committee on August 5, 2021.

Coalition statements before the election

In a poll of politicians by the WDR, the SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz preferred a new edition of the grand coalition with the CDU / CSU over a red-red-green coalition , because the left is opposed to him on some points, such as a "clear [n] Commitment to NATO, solid budgets and the transatlantic partnership . ”“ These requirements are non-negotiable, ”said Scholz. But he did not categorically rule out such a coalition. He hopes for a majority for a coalition SPD / Greens ( red-green coalition ): "I would like to govern with the Greens". Scholz also considered being elected to the Chancellery with the FDP and the Greens ( traffic light coalition ).

The Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock said that she and the Greens are striving for a coalition with the SPD. Regarding a coalition with the SPD and the Left, she sees insurmountable discrepancies in foreign policy, but does not rule them out.

The FDP chairman Christian Lindner was open to the formation of a black-red-yellow coalition or a Jamaica coalition and described these two coalition variants as "equivalent options", he considered a coalition of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP ( traffic light coalition ) for "content and arithmetic" absurd. He made it clear with whom he would most like to govern: "The Union has nominated Armin Laschet, whom we know and appreciate from the successful government cooperation in North Rhine-Westphalia."

The chairwoman of the Left, Susanne Hennig-Wellsow , saw good opportunities for an alliance with the SPD and the Greens after the general election. It is the first time in the history of the party that one is preparing so seriously for explorations: “The window is open as wide as never before. When, if not now?"

Cooperation with the AfD was ruled out by all other parties; The CDU and FDP also ruled out a coalition with the left.

Television formats

Triels and debates

Broadcasting of the trio of ARD and ZDF for the press

For the first time in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany, the traditional television duels were no longer held as a duel, but as a three-way battle. They were therefore called triels. The reason for this was the strength of the Greens in a number of recent state elections and in opinion polls at the federal level. In addition, discussion rounds were held with other top candidates.

Irregularities in Berlin

In Berlin there were numerous irregularities in the voting, which led the Federal Returning Officer to request a report from the Berlin State Returning Officer Petra Michaelis. The latter agreed to accept the possible consequences. In some polling stations ballot papers were missing and could not be delivered in time due to the Berlin Marathon, which was taking place at the same time, ballot papers and postal voting documents were exchanged or did not arrive, and some ballot papers were only cast long after the official end of voting at 6 p.m. The last votes were cast after 8 p.m., when the result was already known through forecasts.
