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) .

Otherwise.

The SPD became the strongest party in 2020 with over 39 percent by a large margin ahead of the Greens (24.2 percent), but lost four seats. The Greens were able to almost double their share of the vote. The CDU achieved its historically worst result in a citizenship election with 11.2 percent, while the Left achieved its best with 9.1 percent. The AFD had long worried about the back into parliament on election night, but finally reached 5.3 percent of the vote. The FDP failed with 4.96 percent just under the five percent hurdle and missed entry into the citizenry for the first time since 2008 . However, because of a direct mandate from its top candidate Anna-Elisabeth von Treuenfels-Frowein in the Blankenese constituency , the FDP is represented by a non-attached MP . The turnout was 63.2 percent.

After the election, the SPD announced that it would explore possible government coalitions with the Greens and the CDU. The top candidate and former First Mayor Peter Tschentscher described a continuation of the red-green coalition as an "obvious option" for the formation of a new state government under his leadership ( Senate Tschentscher II ).
