List of Bundestag constituencies

Districts for Germany's lower house

Under Germany's mixed member proportional system of election, the Bundestag has 299 constituencies (Wahlkreise (German: [ˈvaːlˌkʁaɪ̯zə] ), electoral districts), each of which elects one member of the Bundestag by first-past-the-post voting (a plurality of votes). At least 299 more representatives are elected from closed lists in each of Germany's sixteen Länder, distributed in a manner that ensures that the overall proportion of representatives for each party is approximately equal to the proportion of votes its list received.[1]

Voting was last held in Germany's constituencies on 27 September 2021, determining the members of the 20th Bundestag.
