Bundestag election Rhineland-Palatinate: 14 parties compete, three failure!

On February 23, 2025, the Bundestag elections will take place in Rhineland-Palatinate, in which 14 parties are on the ballot. In a public meeting, the state election committee in Mainz approved the lists of the approved parties. The approved parties include well -known names such as the SPD, CDU, Greens, FDP, AfD, the left, as well as some smaller parties such as the animal welfare party and volts. Particularly noteworthy is the Alliance Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW), which engages in the list of approved parties, all of which were registered for the election.

At the same time, three parties were excluded from participation: the humanists, the party of progress and the grassroots democratic party of Germany (thie-). The reason for the non -registration was the lack of 2,000 valid support signatures that are necessary in order to be able to start the election. This was already seen as a challenge for new or small -format parties in the previous elections.

approval and order of the parties

The order of the parties on the ballot papers was set in Rhineland-Palatinate in accordance with the second vote results of the 2021 Bundestag election. In the first twelve places there are the parties that have already participated in this election, followed by the newly candidate parties who are listed in alphabetical order.

It is interesting that this choice has expired properly and according to the regulations. The state election manager Marcel Hürter emphasized that an submitted complaint against the list of the FDP was thoroughly examined. Allegations were made that the list of the list was not compliant and the choice was not secret. The FDP vehemently rejected these allegations and presented an affidavit that confirmed that no defects were found.

conclusion on the situation of the parties

The Bundestag election on February 23 is characterized by a colorful mix of established and new political actors. In view of the non-approved parties, it remains to be seen how voter behavior will be in Rhineland-Palatinate. The discussion about the requirements for the approval of parties could continue to ensure conversation in the future, especially if one looks at the need for support signatures and their handling.
