German voters prepare to elect a new parliament. Here's what to expect on and after election day
Thursday, 20 February 2025 () German voters go to the polls Sunday to elect a parliament that will determine who runs the country for the next four years. Germany has Europe’s biggest economy and is the EU’s most populous nation. It is a leading member of NATO and the second-biggest weapons supplier to Ukraine. The vote count is likely to be final early Monday, but it's not clear what governing coalitions are possible. Preelection polling shows a mainstream conservative bloc with about 30% support and the far-right Alternative for Germany with around 20%. Parties need to get 5% of the vote to win seats, so how many reach that threshold may determine the coalition's makeup. All mainstream parties say they won’t work with AfD.
