Bundeswahlgesetz or FederalElections electionFederal elections act is the legal basis behind formation of main legislative body of GermanyGermany—BundestagBundestag. In 2023, major amendments were made to this act. Among the main changes affecting the political situation are the overall reduction in the number of deputies, the withdrawal of compensatory mandates and the new distribution of mandates in general, and the establishment of a census for direct mandates. This may lead to a number of consequences of a general nature, affecting the function of the Bundestag as a whole, as well as consequences for individual parties. The former may include a reduction in expenditures and simplification of parliamentary work, a possible reduction in parliamentary fragmentation (which affects coalition formation and the complexity of decision-making); it is also assumed that these changes will contribute to the elimination of possible distortions in the distribution of seats, which will improve the proportionality and representativeness of political partiesPolitical parties (while increasing their competition for votes). At the same time, the consequences for individual actors may include a potential decrease in the number of representatives of regional parties, as the new law limits their ability to win more seats solely by winning districts (a possible case for the CSU); small parties dependent on direct mandates may feel the unfairness of the updated system and defend their positions in political debates or in court. Changes in the allocation of direct mandates may also weaken the connection between voters who support small parties and the Bundestag, as such a situation may cause feelings of diminished influence on the country's politics.
