Plenary Hall of the Hamburg Parliament

The election for the 22nd Hamburg citizenship took place on February 23, 2020.

The incumbent red-green government coalition gained overall approval and for the first time has a two-thirds majority . The SPD remained the strongest force, but lost four seats in the parliament, while the previous government partner Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen increased the number of its mandates from 15 to 33.

The CDU lost around a third of its share of the vote and with 11.2% had to accept its second-worst result in a state election since the party was founded. Their top candidate, the CDU member of the Bundestag, Marcus Weinberg , also missed his entry into the citizenship, as 15 CDU direct mandates were won in the constituencies and the party - according to state votes - only has 15 seats.

The left gained slightly. The AfD lost 0.8 percentage points for the first time since it was founded in 2013 compared to a previous national election, but again achieved citizenship with 5.3%.

The FDP also lost a good third of its share of the vote and failed with 4.97% of the five percent hurdle . Nevertheless, the FDP is now represented with a seat in the 22nd citizenship, as top candidate Anna-Elisabeth von Treuenfels-Frowein won one of the constituency mandates in the Blankenese constituency .

Suffrage

The usually 121 MPs are elected according to the electoral law that has been in force since 2013 . 71 mandates are awarded directly in the 17 multi-mandate constituencies (3–5 seats) via open constituency lists , the remaining 50 via open state lists .

Each voter has a total of ten votes, five constituency votes for the direct candidates in the constituency and five state votes for candidates on the state lists or for state lists in their entirety. The five votes can be accumulated ( accumulate ) or distributed as required ( variegation ) for a person (or party in the case of a national list) . Anyone who has reached the age of 18 and is eligible to vote is passively entitled to vote , i.e. eligible for election.

Otherwise.

The SPD became the strongest party in 2015 with over 45 percent by a very large margin ahead of the CDU (15.9 percent), but lost its absolute majority in the citizenry. The Greens reached 12.3 percent , the Left 8.5, the FDP 7.4 and the AfD 6.1 percent. The latter party entered the citizenry for the first time. The turnout was 56.1 percent.

After the election, the SPD formed a government coalition with the Greens, which held 73 of the 121 seats in the citizenry. Olaf Scholz thus remained First Mayor of Hamburg.

At the end of March 2018, Peter Tschentscher (SPD) was elected as the new first mayor, as Olaf Scholz became finance minister and vice chancellor at the federal level.

The First Mayor Tschentscher finally drew a positive balance for his Senate. Above all, he emphasized the progress made in the area of ​​climate protection, here the Senate has drawn up a climate protection plan, which should make the city of Hamburg climate-neutral by 2050. However, this climate plan could no longer be implemented by the Senate into applicable law because the European Commission did not receive the necessary information in good time. In addition, the SPD in Hamburg is burdened by a corruption scandal involving various SPD members in the city administration. They are said to have received hundreds of tickets for a Rolling Stones concert and, in return, reduced the usage fees for the organizer.

Aspects around the choice

subjects

According to a representative survey by Infratest dimap , the most important topics of choice were mobility and living / renting. 39 and 33 percent, respectively, of the survey participants from the beginning of January 2020 saw these topics as an important problem, followed by education (19%) and environmental protection (18%). The issues of migration (12%), poverty (10%) and internal security, health, the economy, unemployment and family policy (each less than 7%) played a subordinate role.

Coalition statements

The SPD and the Greens basically strived for a continuation of the red-green government. SPD top candidate Peter Tschentscher saw “red-green as an obvious option”, but the SPD is not engaging in “exclusivity”, for example in relation to a coalition with the CDU or FDP. The Green top candidate Katharina Fegebank announced that in the case of a new red-green government, “significantly more green in the coalition” than was previously the case. The left did not want to become part of a government. Cooperation with the AfD was ruled out by all other parties.

Eligible voters

For the citizenship election on February 23, 2020, 1,316,575 people entitled to vote - around 20,000 more than in 2015 - were called upon to cast their votes. H. all persons with German citizenship who have reached the age of 16 and had their (main) place of residence in Hamburg for at least three months on the reference date.

Postal vote

304,684 Hamburgers requested postal voting documents, which corresponded to 23.1 percent of the eligible voters. This meant an increase of 60,554 people or 4.4 percentage points compared to the 2015 general election.

After the election, the SPD announced that it would explore possible government coalitions with the Greens and the CDU. The top candidate and previous First Mayor Peter Tschentscher described a continuation of the red-green coalition as “first priority” for the formation of a new state government under his leadership ( Senate Tschentscher II ), but initially did not rule out alternatives.

The Green mayor candidate Katharina Fegebank , on the other hand, spoke out clearly in favor of continuing the cooperation with the SPD. You understand the result as a clear voter mandate for red-green with strong greens. The Hamburg CDU top candidate Marcus Weinberg assessed the result of his party as disappointing, but also agreed to possible talks about forming a government with the SPD.

After exploratory talks with both the Greens and the CDU, the board of the Hamburg SPD decided on March 10, 2020 to start coalition negotiations with the Greens. Due to the corona crisis , the coalition negotiations were interrupted and only continued on April 23. On June 6, 2020, the party congress delegates of the Hamburg SPD and the Greens decided to reissue their coalition. They voted with a large majority for the coalition agreement and the agreed composition of the Senate . On June 10, 2020, Peter Tschentscher was re-elected First Mayor.

particularities

  • Before the official announcement of the preliminary final result, there were disagreements in some electoral districts, including 43202 ( Langenhorn ) due to the swapping of the votes of the FDP and the Greens, which in the first 24 hours after the ballot box closed it initially looked like the FDP as a parliamentary group move in the citizenship.
  • The number of invalid ballot papers decreased significantly from 2.8 to 1.2 percent compared to the 2015 state elections, which was also due to the fact that the so-called "healing rule" was introduced with the decision of the citizens on April 25, 2018 and was now in effect for the first time. In this case, the ballot papers initially classified as invalid are subject to a renewed examination and must be declared valid if the will of the voters is clearly recognizable there. The SPD benefited disproportionately from the healing rule (30,385 of 49,940 votes). Fears of the FDP that the healing rule could reduce their chances of entering the citizenry did not apply: If the healing rule had not applied, it would have been 4.97 percent instead of 4.97 percent (1582 votes or 317 voters, if five votes are counted for each voter ) with 4.99 percent (348 votes or 70 voters) also below the five percent threshold.
  • As a rule, 121 seats are allocated in the citizenry, decisive for the distribution of seats is the proportion of votes in the list votes. Because the FDP won a direct mandate, although it was not entitled to any mandates via the list votes, the citizenship increased to 122 seats. There was also a stalemate avoidance seat to ensure an uneven number of seats, bringing the number of seats to 123. The state chairwoman of the party Die Linke Olga Fritzsche received this 123rd seat .
  • More than half of the MPs moved into parliament, 63 seats were compared to 60 who were able to defend their seat. The new citizenship consists of 55 women and 68 men in an age range from 21 to 70 years.
