European elections in Germany 2019
The European elections in Germany 2019 were the ninth direct election to the European Parliament in Germany . As part of the 2019 EU- wide European elections , it took place on May 26, 2019.
96 MEPs were elected in Germany; this corresponded to the maximum number of mandates possible for a member state of the European Union under the Treaty of Lisbon .
In parallel to the European elections, other elections such as local elections were held in several federal states .
Election date
According to Articles 10 and 11 of the direct election act, the election date had to be between Thursday and Sunday five years after the previous European elections. The Council of the EU had to set the exact date at least one year before the scheduled date. During this period, each member state of the European Union was able to determine when the polling stations would be open in their own country. In Germany this is usually a Sunday.
In parallel with the European elections took place in the country Bremen the state election instead. In addition, there were elections at the local level in several federal states, namely the Hamburg district assembly elections in 2019 and local elections in Baden-Württemberg , Brandenburg , Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , Rhineland-Palatinate , Saxony , Saxony-Anhalt , Thuringia and Saarland .
Suffrage
German legal bases for the European elections are the European Election Act (EuWG) - which refers in many areas to the Federal Election Act (BWG) - the European Election Code (EuWO), the Election Statistics Act (WStatG) and the European Parliament Act (EuAbgG). The election is a proportional representation , which means that each party receives seats according to their share of the nationwide valid votes. The distribution of seats is based on the Sainte-Laguë / Schepers method .
Most parties run with nationwide election lists , but they can also run with state lists, as traditionally the CDU and CSU do. The electoral lists are closed; that is, the seats allotted to the nominations will be filled in exactly the order specified on the list. A vote can be assigned with which the preferred list is chosen.
Active and passive right to vote
Actively entitled to vote in Germany, who is on election day at least 18 years old and
- Is a German within the meaning of Article 116 (1) of the Basic Law and has had his or her home or other habitual residence in the European Union for at least three months or is eligible to vote as a German abroad in accordance with Article 12 (2) of the Federal Electoral Law or
- as a non-German citizen of the Union, has lived in Germany for at least three months.
There is no right to vote if this has been revoked by a judicial judgment. In the case of care in all matters and in the case of placement in psychiatry because of a criminal offense committed in a state of fault, the law also stipulates an exclusion of the right to vote; The identical exclusion of voting rights in the Federal Electoral Act was declared unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court in February 2019. According to a ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court on April 15, 2019, these two grounds for exclusion are not applicable to applications for entry in the electoral roll (possible up to the 21st day before the election) and to objections to the electoral roll during the inspection period (20th to 16th day before of choice).
Germans living in other EU countries and EU foreigners living in Germany must decide whether they want to vote in their home country or in the country in which they live. In Germany you will only be included in the electoral roll upon request. Such an application is not necessary if an EU foreigner was already included in the electoral roll in a previous European election in Germany and has not moved abroad in the meantime. Double voting by people who are citizens of two EU Member States is a criminal offense.
Germans are eligible, as well as non-German Union citizens with an apartment or other habitual residence in Germany. Further requirements for eligibility are the minimum age of 18 years and the absence of a reason for exclusion according to § 6b Paragraph 3 and 4 of the European Election Act.
Threshold clause
There was no threshold clause in 2019 . Plans to reintroduce a threshold clause for the 2019 European elections were dropped by the grand coalition in November 2018. The seat allocation procedure results in a hurdle of approx. 0.5% of the valid votes, depending on the outcome of all parties. With 96 seats and 41 participating parties and other political associations, a seat is possible from around 0.433% of the valid votes, and one seat is guaranteed from around 0.658%.
The three percent threshold introduced in 2013 was lifted as unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court before the 2014 European elections . In June 2018, at German insistence , the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament decided to introduce a threshold clause of 2% to 5% for countries with constituencies with at least 35 seats by 2024. However, this regulation will only come into force if it is approved by ratified by all EU states. In Germany, this requires a two-thirds majority in both the Bundestag and the Bundesrat. Because of a dispute between the Union and the Greens, this majority is currently not in sight.
Eligible voters in Germany
According to an initial estimate by the Federal Statistical Office, there were around 64.8 million eligible voters (around 60.8 million Germans and almost four million other EU citizens) in Germany on May 26, 2019.
Submission of lists
Political parties and other political associations could submit lists for the European elections . The lists had to be submitted by March 4, 2019 (83rd day before the election) together with supporting signatures. Nationwide lists had to be supported by 4,000 eligible voters, state lists of 1 per thousand , but a maximum of 2,000 eligible voters of the respective federal state (Section 9 (5 ) EuWG ). Parties which had been represented by at least five members in the Bundestag , a Landtag or the European Parliament since its last election were exempt from the obligation to submit supporting signatures . These were the Bundestag parties CDU, CSU, SPD, AfD, FDP, Left and Greens as well as the Free Voters, who were represented in the Bavarian State Parliament.
Order of lists on the ballot papers
The order of the lists on the ballot papers was based on the number of votes of the parties and other political associations in the last European elections in the federal state in accordance with Section 15 (3) of the European Election Act. The lists of the remaining nominees followed in alphabetical order of their names. Up to and including position 18, the order in the federal states was therefore different.
Starting position
The SPD recorded strong gains in the 2014 European elections . The eurosceptic AfD, which was only founded in 2013, was able to reach over 7% straight away. She joined the European Conservatives and Reformists of the British Tories in the European Parliament . The FDP suffered severe losses and was only able to move into parliament again because the threshold clause was abolished. In total, the record number of 14 German parties entered the European Parliament, seven of them with one member each. With the exception of two, however, all MEPs found their way into one of the political groups in the European Parliament , including those with only one MEP:
- Stefan Bernhard Eck , Animal Welfare Party: GUE / NGL parliamentary group
- Julia Reda , Pirate Party: Greens / EFA Group
- Klaus Buchner , ÖDP: Greens / EFA parliamentary group
- Ulrike Müller , Free Voters: ALDE Group, as a member of the EDP
- Arne Gericke , family party: EKR parliamentary group
- Udo Voigt , NPD: non-attached
- Martin Sonneborn , The PARTY: non-attached
In the course of the electoral term, there were some party and parliamentary party transfers. The MP of the Animal Welfare Party Stefan Bernhard Eck left the party in December 2014. Of the seven AfD MPs, six left the party during the electoral term. Five of them, led by the former AfD party spokesman Bernd Lucke , founded the ALFA party in July 2015, which was later renamed Liberal-Conservative Reformer , all except Lucke left the party in September 2018. The AfD MP Marcus Pretzell was in April Excluded from the ECR group in 2016 and joined the ENF group; in September 2017 he joined the Blue Party . The remaining AfD MP Beatrix von Storch evaded exclusion from the EKR parliamentary group by converting to the EFDD parliamentary group ; after her departure in October 2017, her successor AfD party spokesman Jörg Meuthen also joined the EFDD. The MP of the family party Arne Gericke switched to the Free Voters in May 2017 and to Bündnis C in autumn 2018 . The MP for the Pirate Party Julia Reda left the party in March 2019.
Parties and candidates
A total of 41 political associations ran for the European elections. With the exception of the CDU (all states except Bavaria) and the CSU (only in Bavaria), all associations competed nationwide and ran with a federal list:
59 political associations submitted lists on time. The federal electoral committee decided on March 15, 2019 on the approval of the lists. The following associations had submitted lists that were rejected by the Federal Electoral Committee due to insufficient number of support signatures: Alliance of German Democrats (AD Democrats); Workers and Pensioners Union (ARU); German Center Party (Center); dieKlimaretter; European collective movement for the legalization and liberalization of cannabis (CANNABIS!); Garden party ; International European German Lion Party (IEDLP); LigaPLUS; Party for Freedom, Equality, Fraternity (PfFGB); PAN - the non-party; Social Liberal Democratic Party (SLDP); Independent for citizen-friendly democracy ; Community of voters for a representative parliament (LOS); Housing Defense League (WVL); Unu-Tero-Partio (One Earth Party) (UTOPIO). The blue party (Blaue #TeamPetry) and the German dog party had submitted lists but withdrew them before the committee meeting. The V-Party³ - Party for Change, Vegetarians and Vegans was not allowed to vote in the European elections due to “deficiencies in the democratic establishment process”.
On May 3, 2019, the Federal Agency for Civic Education activated the Wahl-O-Mat for the European elections. After a ruling by the Cologne Administrative Court on May 20, 2019 (Az .: 6 L 1056/19), it was deactivated because the notification mechanism of a maximum of 8 parties represented a factual disadvantage of the smaller and less known parties. Due to an out-of-court agreement between the Federal Agency for Civic Education and the Volt Germany party , it went online again on the evening of May 23rd.
