List published after two days
–
It is now clear who is moving into the Berlin House of Representatives
On day two after the election, it is finally clear who will be entering the Berlin state parliament. A list of the missing MPs was published on Tuesday. However, some well-known names are missing on this one.
After a two-day game after the election on Sunday, the exact composition of the Berlin House of Representatives is now clear. The regional election committee published the complete list of the new members on Tuesday around 4 p.m. The list is on the website of the election management [wahlen-berlin.de] to see.
In addition to the politicians who won the 78 direct seats in the constituencies and who have been known since Monday, it also lists the other 69 MPs. These moved into parliament via state and district lists of the parties.
It is now clear, for example, that the previous CDU parliamentary group leader Burkard Dregger is no longer represented in the House of Representatives. He missed a direct mandate and did not get a chance on the list either. Also the parliamentary manager of the SPD parliamentary group, Torsten Schneider, and Green politician Monika Herrmann, District Mayor of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, have missed the move.
Calculations for the mandate distribution were incorrect
The investigation of all 147 MPs had taken an unusually long time this time. The state election control has not yet officially stated what the reasons for the delay were. According to rbb information, the parties were informed before the list was published that initial calculations for the allocation of mandates had been incorrect. The list was therefore checked again.
The State Returning Officer plans to announce the final official result on October 14th. It is likely that by then recounts will be carried out in constituencies that have been won with narrow results.
Elections with several serious mishaps
who the Conquered 78 direct mandates in the constituencies, had been on the since Monday morning Website of the Berlin state election control [wahlen-berlin.de] to see.
There were several serious mishaps in the elections in Berlin on Sunday. In some polling stations voting papers were missing early on, in two cases ballot papers were delivered to the wrong polling stations. In addition, there were long queues, some voters were only able to vote after 6 p.m., some of those waiting also waived their vote and went home without having achieved anything.
Gaebler sees responsibility for the state returning officer
The head of the Senate Chancellery, Christian Gaebler, said on Tuesday after the Senate meeting that responsibility for this lay with the state returning officer, not the current government. So far, the Senate has only received an interim report; a full analysis is still expected.
In how many polling stations there were problems, Gaebler did not want to say specifically. He named a two-digit sum that appears in the report. “So one cannot speak of election chaos,” said the head of the Senate Chancellery. At a press conference on Monday, the state election authorities named the districts of Pankow, Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf and Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, among others.
