Bundestag election 2025: Lower Saxony is preparing for the election campaign!

In Lower Saxony, the Bundestag election, which will take place on February 23, 2025, moves closer. The parties only have a few weeks to prepare their election campaigns. The state election manager Markus Steinmetz expressed concerns about growing doubts about the proper execution of the election. He warns of possible efforts to undermine the trust of citizens into the democratic processes. Steinmetz emphasizes that there are no serious reasons to question the integrity of the election process.

In Lower Saxony, more than 6.1 million eligible voters are called for participation in the election. 30 constituencies are currently served in Lower Saxony. The parties are obliged to submit their election proposals to the state election manager by January 20. Complaints against decisions of the state election committee exist until January 30th. The ballots are to be printed and distributed in early February. Due to the short time, the city of Braunschweig is also recommended to make use of the postal voting to ensure smooth participation, such as News38.de reported.
