Bundestag election in Bavaria: Söder votes in Nuremberg - and expects a close result
He was not nervous about the outcome of the election, but a little tense, said the CSU boss at the polling station in the Mögeldorf district of Nuremberg. “There are nicer days,” he added. "There is no more difficult day than election day because you wait and wait and wait and hope to get some good signal," he said.
Söder has also revealed his further plans for Sunday: He will attend the birthday party of Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) and then go to Berlin, he described his daily routine. "I hope that Armin Laschet gets the government contract." But it will be tight and therefore exciting.
Update, 9.24 a.m.:
In the Free State, around 9.4 million eligible voters are called to vote for the new German Bundestag today.
Every eligible voter has two votes.
The second vote decides on the composition of the Bundestag.
With the first vote, a direct candidate is elected in each of the 46 constituencies in the Free State.
Bundestag election in Bavaria: is CSU threatened with a new negative record under Söder?
Apart from the nationwide election result, it is eagerly awaited in the Free State how the CSU will perform in the end.
Surveys had recently seen the Christian Socialists below the 30 percent mark.
In concrete terms, this means that the CSU under party leader Söder is threatened with a new negative record.
It is also possible that the party will miss the 5 percent hurdle.
In order to make it into the Bundestag, a party across Germany needs at least 5 percent of the second vote.
If the CSU does not jump this hurdle, it can still make it into the Bundestag: To do this, it would have to win at least three direct mandates.
In this respect, this regulation also has a symbolic character to a certain extent.
By the way, the lowest level of the CSU so far was 29.2 percent in the 1949 election.
Bundestag election in Bavaria: Free voters hope to move into the Bundestag
Today, Sunday, the focus is also on the Free Voters with their chairman Hubert Aiwanger.
The party hopes to move into the Bundestag for the first time.
However, surveys had always seen them below the five percent hurdle in the past few weeks.
Nationwide - and also in the Free State - the Greens in particular can count on a hefty plus.
For the first time in years, the CSU must fear the loss of direct mandates: In Munich and Nuremberg in particular, the SPD and the Greens are hoping to steal one or more constituencies from the CSU.
