Overview

• The Berlin Senate is expected to finalize September 20, 2026, as the date for the next Abgeordnetenhaus election.
• This election will coincide with the district assembly votes, a standard practice in Berlin.
• The 2021 election faced significant logistical failures, including ballot shortages and polling station closures, prompting a court-mandated rerun in 2023.
• The proposed date avoids conflicts with the Berlin Marathon, which contributed to traffic-related delays in 2021.
• Despite the 2023 rerun, the election cycle remains on track, with the five-year legislative term concluding in 2026.
