German Politics: Elections & Voting In Germany | Meet the Germans

With the German election just around the corner and Angela Merkel’s time in office coming to an end, Rachel finds out more about how federal elections in Germany actually work. Who can vote? How are parliamentary seats shared out? And what do German people think about coalition governments?

Rachel moved from the UK to Germany in 2016. As a relative newcomer she casts a fresh eye over German clichés and shares her experiences of settling into German life. Every few weeks she explores a new topic – from youth culture to environmentalism or quirks of the German language. This week: It’s time for a deep dive into German politics.
