Countdown for the Bundestag election 2025: Ansbach expects exciting duels!

On January 9, 2025, the Bundestag constituency Ansbach (240) was reported, which is currently represented by Artur Auernhammer (CSU). The Bundestag election 2025 is scheduled for February 23, 2025, and voters have the opportunity to give their voice either at the ballot box or by postal voting. In the previous election in 2021, Artur Auernhammer won 38.4% of the first votes, followed by Harry Scheuenstuhl (SPD) with 17.7% and Herbert Sirois (Greens) with 11.2% of the first votes.

Der constituency 240 includes the independent city of Ansbach and the districts of Ansbach and Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen. The Bundestag election 2025 will be the first according to the 2023 voting law reform, which brings significant changes. The number of members of the Bundestag was set at 630 and overhang and compensation mandates were eliminated. The seats in the Bundestag are distributed exclusively on the basis of the second votes, while direct mandates can only be supported by a corresponding number of seconds.

changes in the election process

As reported on the website of the Ansbach district, September 28, 2025 was originally set as an appointment for the Bundestag election. Now, however, an early election date is in the room on February 23, 2025, which, however, depends on a failed question of trust by the Federal Chancellor. A vote in the German Bundestag is scheduled for December 16, 2024, according to which the election date can be determined by the Federal President.

In the case of early Bundestag elections, the electoral deadlines are halved. A legal ordinance of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and for Home is expected to be issued at the end of December 2024 to determine precise submission deadlines and meetings of the district and state election committees. The constituency administration in Ansbach asks election providers to hold meetings in good time and submit applicants.

The address of the district election management for constituency 240 Ansbach reads: District election management, district office Ansbach, Crailsheimstraße 1, 91522 Ansbach. Support offers for the creation of district election proposals are available both in the district office and the federal candidate portal.
