Bundestag 2025 · 299 constituencies
Two maps
in one vote.
Switch between the first vote (who won the constituency) and the second (which party led). Constituencies are redrawn before each election to stay within 15 % of the average population, and must be redrawn beyond 25 % (§ 3 BWahlG). Population here means German residents: foreign nationals are not counted, so a constituency averages about 250 000 people.
Hatched: the 23 constituencies whose winner was not seated. Hover or tap for figures.
