The Berlin State Returning Officer Petra Michaelis made her office available on Wednesday. Michaelis asked the Berlin Senate to “recall her immediately after the meetings of the state election committee on October 11 and 14, 2021” and to appoint a successor. This was announced by the Senate Department for Home Affairs and Sport in a press release.
You will be responsible for holding the elections last Sunday, the press release said.
In Berlin, there had been an unusually high number of invalid votes in at least 99 constituencies. This is shown by a data analysis by rbb | 24. More than 13,000 votes are affected in all ballots. The data analysis thus proves repeated reports of false ballot papers from other constituencies, which have to be assessed as invalid by the respective electoral boards.
