Let us remind you that the German parliament (Bundestag) is formed according to a mixed system. Half of the seats are reserved for candidates who were elected in 299 single-mandate constituencies by a simple majority vote, that is, under the majoritarian system. The second half is distributed among the candidates who entered the Bundestag on party lists, depending on how many votes one or another party received.
On the eve, the Germans elected the deputies of the 20th Bundestag. In a few weeks, legislators will have to elect a new German chancellor, who will then form a government.
Earlier in Germany were made public exit poll data… According to a poll of voters at the exit from the polling stations, two key political forces – the Social Democrats and the bloc of the current Chancellor Merkel, the CDU / CSU – won approximately equally (25% each) of the votes.
