After mishaps in the Bundestag election in Berlin, Federal Returning Officer Georg Thiel appealed against the results of the Bundestag election.
"Due to the accumulation and severity of individual voting errors, I have appealed against the validity of the election to the 20th German Bundestag in six Berlin constituencies," he said on Friday in Wiesbaden.
Wiesbaden / Berlin - Due to the problems on election day, it cannot be ruled out "that without these incidents a different distribution of seats in the German Bundestag would have resulted". "Business Insider" had previously reported on the topic.
On September 26, there was a temporary closure of voting rooms in Berlin constituencies due to missing or incorrect ballot papers and queues in front of voting rooms for other organizational reasons. There were sometimes very long waiting times, so that as a result, many voters would not have been able to exercise their right to vote, it said in the statement by the Federal Returning Officer. The objection relates to constituencies 75 Berlin-Mitte, 76 Berlin-Pankow, 77 Berlin-Reinickendorf, 79 Berlin-Steglitz-Zehlendorf, 80 Berlin-Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and 83 Berlin-Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg-Prenzlauer Berg Ost.
Thiel claims to have requested a report from the Berlin state return officer to examine the incidents.
According to all currently available knowledge, the incidents would have violated electoral regulations and therefore represented electoral errors that, among other things, would have impaired the principle of the generality of the election.
In addition, the election errors that occurred could have been relevant to the mandate.
