Held · Valg.info records no announced date for the next Bundestag election.
How the election works
Each voter has two votes. The first vote (Erststimme) goes to a constituency candidate. The second vote (Zweitstimme) goes to a party list and determines party strength in the Bundestag.
The two votes are different ballots and are never added together here.
The official 2025 seat allocation is imported separately. The coalition tool adds selected parties from the election result; it does not show current members or agreed coalitions.
Why it matters in Norway
Germany is an important European energy and trade partner for Norway.
