Wahl-O-Mat and Real-O-Mat Launch Ahead of Key 2025 German Elections

The Wahl-O-Mat and new Real-O-Mat tools aim to assist voters in upcoming Hamburg state and federal elections by aligning user preferences with party positions and actions.

• The Wahl-O-Mat for the Hamburg Bürgerschaftswahl on March 2, 2025, is now available, offering users a comparison of their views with 16 participating parties based on 38 policy statements.
• The Wahl-O-Mat for the February 23 Bundestagswahl will launch on February 6, providing a similar tool for voters to compare their positions with party platforms.
• The Real-O-Mat, a new alternative tool, focuses on comparing user views with parties' past actions and legislative records, rather than future promises, and is already online as of January 29.
• Both tools aim to support undecided voters, with the Wahl-O-Mat relying on party platforms and the Real-O-Mat emphasizing historical voting records and policy implementation.
• Additional voter tools, such as the WahlSwiper and Agrar-O-Mat, offer specialized approaches to aid in decision-making for specific demographics or policy interests.
