German Court Orders Partial Rerun of 2021 National Election in Berlin

Due to severe polling glitches, 455 of 2,256 constituencies in Berlin will repeat the vote on Feb. 11, 2024.

Germany's Federal Constitutional Court has ordered a partial rerun of the 2021 national election in Berlin due to severe glitches at many polling stations.
The rerun is limited to 455 of 2,256 constituencies in Berlin and is not expected to significantly impact the majority of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-party government.
The issues during the election included polling stations running out of ballot papers, receiving ones for the wrong district, and exit polls being made public while some voters were still in line to vote.
A state election held on the same day was completely rerun in February, resulting in a change of the local government.
The new vote will be held on Feb. 11, 2024.
