Munich: Number of postal voters is likely to increase - clear trend towards federal elections
The four direct mandates all went to the CSU.
The former winners Bernhard Loos (north), Wolfgang Stefinger (east), Michael Kuffer (south) and Stephan Pilsinger (west / center) will compete again.
In all four districts there should be an exciting race between the CSU applicants and the candidates from the Greens and SPD.
It is also expected that the number of postal voters will increase.
KVR boss Thomas Böhle (SPD) says: "We have seen a clear trend towards an increase in postal votes since 2013." In the 2017 federal election, the rate was 43.4 percent.
It is assumed that there will be more this time, explains Böhle and adds: “We are prepared for that.” In the 2020 local elections, the proportion of postal voters was already 53.6 percent.
