Bundestag one seat smaller - FDP mandate gone. Election marked the start of an important election year in Germany.
European elections are scheduled for June 9th, followed by state elections in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg in September. Almost 550,000 Berliners were called upon to take part in the partial repeat of the 2021 federal election in the capital. Due to the low turnout of 69.5 percent, the state of Berlin lost 4 mandates and will only be represented in the Bundestag by 25 politicians.
