| Jul 20, 2023 at 12:46 | comment | added | xyldke | Unfortunately, I haven't found an English translation of the new BWahlG, which is perhaps unsurprising considering it is less than two months old. It may even change again subject to a constitutional complaint by opposition parties. | |
| Jul 20, 2023 at 12:36 | comment | added | xyldke | The recent changes to the Election law have changed this provision as well. In particular, subsection 2 was changed to "Ist der Ausgeschiedene nach § 6 Absatz 2 gewählt, bleibt der Sitz unbesetzt." ("If the retired member was elected according to § 6 Section 2, the seat remains vacant"), where § 6 Section 2 concerns candidates without a party list. So, as it stands right now, Germany has abolished replacement elections. Although, given the fact the last MdB without a party was elected in 1952, they previously existed only in theory. | |
