Constitutional court of Berlin’s November decision declaring 2021 state election invalid follows complaints by several political parties and government entities
The city of Berlin on Sunday was holding a court-ordered rerun of a chaotic 2021 state election that was marred by severe glitches at many polling stations that led to hours-long lines as some polling places ran out of ballot papers or received ones for the wrong district.
The decision followed complaints by several political parties and government entities over the Sept. 26, 2021, vote for the state legislature. Another issue was that the election was supposed to end at 6 p.m., but voters waiting in line at that time were allowed to cast their ballots — at a time when exit polls were already public.
Kai Wegner is the top candidate of the center-right Christian Democratic Union, which is currently leading the polls. Among the most pressing issues is the city’s housing market. Rising rents and a housing shortage have made affordable living in the city center almost impossible for many middle-class families.Among the most teeth-grinding issues are the much-delayed opening of the city’s airport and the near impossibility of getting an appointment with the city’s citizen centers to apply for a wedding license, register after a move or apply for a new passport.
Around 2.4 million people are eligible to vote in the rerun, according to the German news agency dpa.
