Germany is set to vote for its 21st Bundestag on February 23, 2025. Polls will be open from 8 AM to 6 PM, with initial results expected shortly after.

Voters must bring their ID and election notification, though those without the notification can still vote by verifying their identity.

The election follows five key principles: it must be general, direct, free, equal, and secret.

Voters will cast two votes—one for a local candidate and another for a party list.

Markings like crosses, dots, or filled circles are valid, but smileys or personal notes will invalidate the ballot.

Assistance is available for those in need, ensuring inclusivity in the democratic process.
