germany - Germany is gearing up for early general elections on February 23rd with interesting details emerging as the day approaches.

Early Elections in Germany

Germany is preparing for early general elections scheduled for February 23rd. Approximately 60 million voters will head to the polls to elect new members of the Federal Parliament (Bundestag). The Federal Statistical Office reported that around 30.6 million female and 28.6 million male voters are expected to participate, with approximately 2.3 million first-time voters. According to the Federal Election Law, German citizens who have turned 18 and have been residing in Germany for at least 3 months are eligible to vote. German citizens residing abroad can also cast their votes by special arrangement.

Significance of Migrant Votes

With approximately 17.1 million people in Germany having a migration background, 7.1 million of whom are German citizens and eligible to vote, the votes of migrant-origin individuals play a crucial role in the election process. The Turkish-origin German citizen voters in Germany are estimated to be around 982,000, with recent citizenship applications increasing this number to over 1 million.

29 Parties in the Race

The Federal Election Commission initially identified 41 parties as meeting the prerequisites to participate in the elections, but only 29 are actually running. German voters will have the choice of 29 parties and 4,506 parliamentary candidates. Parties like the Social Democratic Party (SPD), Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Christian Social Union (CSU), Greens/Alliance, Free Democratic Party (FDP), and Alternative for Germany (AfD) are prominent contenders for parliamentary seats.
