Wahl-O-Mat for Germany's 2025 Federal Election Launches February 6
The popular voter guidance tool will help citizens navigate the early Bundestag election set for February 23, alongside several alternative platforms.
- The Wahl-O-Mat, a digital tool for comparing voters' preferences with party positions, will go live on February 6 at approximately midday, ahead of Germany's early federal election on February 23, 2025.
- The tool allows users to respond to 38 political statements, weigh important topics, and compare their views with all registered parties' positions, including detailed explanations.
- This year's Wahl-O-Mat was developed by a team of political scientists, statisticians, educators, and young voters, ensuring broad representation and accuracy in its design.
- Alternative voter tools such as Wahl.chat, Real-O-Mat, and WahlSwiper offer specialized approaches, including chatbot interactions, historical voting behavior comparisons, and Tinder-style swiping interfaces.
- The 2025 Bundestag election was triggered by the collapse of the coalition under Chancellor Olaf Scholz, following a failed vote of confidence.
