About this election
The electoral system
As in 2019, Germany elected its 96 MEPs by proportional representation with no electoral threshold, so seats closely track each party's national vote share and several small parties win representation. The CDU and CSU again ran as separate but allied lists — the CSU only in Bavaria — and are shown here combined as the CDU/CSU. The lowering of the voting age to 16 added around 1.4 million first-time young voters to the electorate.
