To enter the Bundestag, a party must either get five percent of the nationwide second vote or win three constituencies via first votes – passing the <a href="/wiki/Electoral_threshold" title="Electoral threshold">electoral threshold</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:22-23">[20]</a> Either case results in that party entering the Bundestag and receiving seats in proportion to its national share of the second vote. Parties representing recognized minorities that contest federal elections, currently, only the <a href="/wiki/South_Schleswig_Voters%27_Association" title="South Schleswig Voters' Association">SSW</a>, are exempt from the threshold. Initially, in an overall distribution, all 630 seats (except those won by independent candidates) are allocated proportionally at the federal level to parties clearing the threshold, then subsequently within each party to its candidates in each state.<a href="#cite_note-:3-24">[21]</a> Both calculations are done using the <a href="/wiki/Webster/Sainte-Lagu%C3%AB_method" class="mw-redirect" title="Webster/Sainte-Laguë method">Webster/Sainte-Laguë method</a>.

The second votes of ballots on which a winning independent candidate is the first vote are not considered in the proportional distribution of seats to preserve <a href="/wiki/One_man,_one_vote" title="One man, one vote">voter equality</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:3-24">[21]</a> However, these votes determine whether a party has exceeded the 5% threshold. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="2023_reform">2023 reform</h4></div> Before this election, if a party won enough <a href="/wiki/Direktmandat" title="Direktmandat">constituencies</a> in a state to exceed its proportional entitlement, it could keep the so-called <a href="/wiki/Overhang_seats" class="mw-redirect" title="Overhang seats">overhang seats</a>. Combined with the addition of <a href="/wiki/Leveling_seats" class="mw-redirect" title="Leveling seats">leveling seats</a> for other parties to keep the composition of the Bundestag proportional, the <a href="/wiki/2017_German_federal_election" title="2017 German federal election">2017</a> and <a href="/wiki/2021_German_federal_election" title="2021 German federal election">2021</a> elections saw large numbers of additional seats. After the 2021 election produced a Bundestag with 736 members – which made it the largest freely elected parliament in the world – renewed debate began over the system that had been in place since the <a href="/wiki/2013_German_federal_election" title="2013 German federal election">2013 election</a>. The Bundestag passed a reform law in March 2023 to fix the size of any future Bundestag at 630 members. It introduced two major changes: <ul><li>The seat distribution would be determined solely through each party's share of the second vote (Zweitstimmendeckung, "second vote coverage")</li> <li>The three-constituency rule (Grundmandatsklausel, "basic mandate clause") was eliminated.</li></ul> The principle of second vote coverage means that parties are no longer allowed to keep overhang seats; if a party wins overhang seats in a state, its constituency winners are excluded from the Bundestag in decreasing order of their first vote share.<a href="#cite_note-:0-25">[22]</a> Also, if a party wins one or two constituencies but does not pass the threshold – a scenario which has only happened once to the <a href="/wiki/Party_of_Democratic_Socialism_(Germany)" title="Party of Democratic Socialism (Germany)">PDS</a> in <a href="/wiki/2002_German_federal_election" title="2002 German federal election">2002</a> – those winners are excluded and not elected as they would lack second vote coverage. However, the principle does not apply to independent candidates. If an independent wins a constituency (which has not happened since <a href="/wiki/1949_West_German_federal_election" title="1949 West German federal election">1949</a>), the candidate is still elected.<a href="#cite_note-26">[23]</a> Both the <a href="/wiki/Christian_Social_Union_in_Bavaria" title="Christian Social Union in Bavaria">CSU</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Left_(Germany)" title="The Left (Germany)">The Left</a> opposed these changes. In the 2021 election, The Left fell short of the five percent threshold but remained in the Bundestag because it won three constituencies. In contrast, the CSU barely crossed the threshold with 5.2% of the nationwide second vote while winning 45 of the 46 constituencies in <a href="/wiki/Bavaria" title="Bavaria">Bavaria</a>. The CSU was also the only party to win overhang seats in that election. Both parties appealed to President <a href="/wiki/Frank-Walter_Steinmeier" title="Frank-Walter Steinmeier">Steinmeier</a> to veto the proposed changes; nevertheless, Steinmeier signed the bill after <a href="/wiki/Bundespr%C3%A4sidialamt" title="Bundespräsidialamt">his office</a> concluded it was constitutional.<a href="#cite_note-27">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[25]</a> Both party organizations and the <a href="/wiki/Second_S%C3%B6der_cabinet" title="Second Söder cabinet">government of Bavaria</a>, controlled by the CSU, filed formal complaints to the <a href="/wiki/Bundesverfassungsgericht" class="mw-redirect" title="Bundesverfassungsgericht">Federal Constitutional Court</a>.<a href="#cite_note-29">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[27]</a> Hearings were held on 23 and 24 April 2024.

At The Left's party convention in October, former lead candidate <a href="/wiki/Gregor_Gysi" title="Gregor Gysi">Gregor Gysi</a> announced an effort called Mission Silberlocke ("Mission Silver Locks") to bolster the party's prospects in the face of infighting and faltering polling.

The goal is to capitalize on the three men's relatively high personal popularities and give The Left the best chance to win three constituencies and ensure they remain in the Bundestag.

Nonetheless, Scholz was unanimously renominated as chancellor candidate by the party's executive, a group which includes Pistorius, on 25 November.<a href="#cite_note-45">[38]</a> Scholz's nomination was confirmed at a party congress on 11 January; as is usual for sitting chancellors, the vote was by <a href="/wiki/Acclamation" title="Acclamation">acclamation</a> rather than secret ballot, and he received little opposition.<a href="#cite_note-46">[39]</a> On 17 November, the Greens nominated sitting vice chancellor <a href="/wiki/Robert_Habeck" title="Robert Habeck">Robert Habeck</a> as its chancellor candidate. Habeck and foreign minister <a href="/wiki/Annalena_Baerbock" title="Annalena Baerbock">Annalena Baerbock</a> remain their co-lead candidates, though Baerbock was the chancellor candidate in 2021. Habeck's campaign does not use the term chancellor candidate and instead refers to him as a "Candidate for the people of Germany" (Kandidat für die Menschen in Deutschland). However, the media uses the usual term.<a href="#cite_note-47">[40]</a> On 7 December, the AfD executive nominated <a href="/wiki/Alice_Weidel" title="Alice Weidel">Alice Weidel</a> as its chancellor candidate. This is the first time the party has referred to its leader as a chancellor candidate (<a href="/wiki/Kanzlerkandidat" class="mw-redirect" title="Kanzlerkandidat">Kanzlerkandidat</a>). This term is normally reserved for the parties (SPD, Greens, and CDU/CSU) seen as having a realistic chance of becoming a senior coalition partner and providing a chancellor instead of the term lead candidate (Spitzenkandidat/in) used for smaller parties. Because other parties refuse to work with it, its chances of entering government are unlikely.<a href="#cite_note-48">[41]</a><a href="#cite_note-49">[42]</a><a href="#cite_note-50">[43]</a> The BSW also nominated <a href="/wiki/Sahra_Wagenknecht" title="Sahra Wagenknecht">Sahra Wagenknecht</a> as a <a href="/wiki/Chancellor_candidate" title="Chancellor candidate">chancellor candidate</a> on 16 December. General Secretary Christian Heye flatly conceded that the party, polling between four and eight percent at the time, had no chance of providing a chancellor and said: "We are neither imagining things nor are we megalomaniacal." He blamed the "inflation" of the term's usage in forcing their hand; he further noted that parties without a Chancellor candidate faced disadvantages, such as no invitations to certain televised debates (most of which were held only between formal Chancellor candidates).<a href="#cite_note-51">[44]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="List_of_candidates">List of candidates</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Candidates_of_the_2025_German_federal_election" title="Candidates of the 2025 German federal election">Candidates of the 2025 German federal election</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Competing_parties">Competing parties</h3></div> A total of 41 parties have been approved to run in this election. Automatic approval is granted to so-called "established parties": those that have been continuously represented in the Bundestag with at least five members since the previous election (SPD, CDU, Greens, FDP, AfD, CSU, and Left) or those that have been continuously represented in any state parliament with at least five members since that state's last election (<a href="/wiki/Alliance_Germany" class="mw-redirect" title="Alliance Germany">Alliance Germany</a>, BSW, and <a href="/wiki/Free_Voters" title="Free Voters">Free Voters</a>). These parties also do not need to submit signatures to support their nominations.<a href="#cite_note-parteien-52">[45]</a> Other political organizations constitute "non-established parties" and must petition the Federal Electoral Committee for approval to run in the election.<a href="#cite_note-parteien-52">[45]</a> The committee must determine whether these organizations meet the definition of a political party set forth by section 2 of the Political Parties Act: that it desires to influence politics and obtain parliamentary representation "either permanently or for an extended period," and in particular, that its "scope and stability...its number of members, and public profile provide sufficient guarantees of the seriousness of this objective". In addition, most of its members and board of directors must be German citizens, based in and managed from within the country.<a href="#cite_note-53">[46]</a> Thirty-one parties were approved but must submit signatures to support their nominations.<a href="#cite_note-parteien-52">[45]</a> Constituency nominations require 200 signatures of eligible voters residing within its boundaries. The number of signatures needed to file a state list is set at 0.1% of the state's eligible voting population at the previous election, with a maximum of 2,000.<a href="#cite_note-54">[47]</a> The 2023 electoral reform law added the restriction that parties can only run constituency candidates in states where it has a state list.<a href="#cite_note-parteien-52">[45]</a> The committee also determined the validity of a party's claim to represent a recognized minority, which not only exempts them from the five-percent hurdle but also the requirement to submit signatures. The SSW's claim was approved, while the claim of Die Sonstigen ("The Others") was not approved.<a href="#cite_note-parteien-52">[45]</a> On 22 January, Table.Media reported that an FDP member submitted complaints against the validity of 14 of the party's state lists (in all states except <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lower_Saxony" title="Lower Saxony">Lower Saxony</a>), which alleged that voting on nominations was not conducted by secret ballot as required by federal law. Instead of filling out a pre-printed ballot, delegates wrote "yes," "no," "abstention," or a candidate's name on a blank sheet of paper while in their seats, which the complaint argued could lead to the ballot being seen by others or the delegate being identified by their handwriting. The electoral committees of several states confirmed they were investigating a complaint, while federal party leaders denied any laws were broken.<a href="#cite_note-55">[48]</a> All of the FDP's lists were ultimately approved. The state returning officer of <a href="/wiki/Hesse" title="Hesse">Hesse</a>, in calling the complaint "far-fetched," pointed to a 2017 court case that found that a minimum level of secrecy (e.g., getting up from one's seat or covering one's ballot with a hand) is sufficient in internal party votes.<a href="#cite_note-56">[49]</a> Ultimately, 29 of the 41 parties approved to run in the election submitted a valid state list in at least one state.<a href="#cite_note-57">[50]</a> In the table below, green indicates a party's state list has been approved, while red indicates a state list has been rejected.

Using the language of war to refer to the political process led to heavy criticism.<a href="#cite_note-ts2911-77">[70]</a><a href="#cite_note-78">[71]</a> This also contradicted Lindner's assertion that the end of the government was a "calculated break" on the part of Scholz.<a href="#cite_note-ts2911-77">[70]</a> Criticism came from the SPD upon the revelation that their coalition partner had not acted in good faith for weeks: parliamentary leader <a href="/wiki/Rolf_M%C3%BCtzenich" title="Rolf Mützenich">Rolf Mützenich</a> described himself as "feeling deceived and disappointed" and "horrified" by the controversial language.<a href="#cite_note-sp1711-79">[72]</a> In an 18 November interview with <a href="/wiki/RTL_(German_TV_channel)" title="RTL (German TV channel)">RTL</a> and <a href="/wiki/N-tv" title="N-tv">n-tv</a>, FDP General Secretary <a href="/wiki/Bijan_Djir-Sarai" title="Bijan Djir-Sarai">Bijan Djir-Sarai</a> denied using the term "D-Day" and stated the party's leadership was unaware of the paper. Lindner did not deny the paper's existence but replied to reporters: "We are in a campaign. Where is the news here?"<a href="#cite_note-sp1711-79">[72]</a> Media speculation continued as to what degree the FDP was responsible for the coalition's end. On the morning of 28 November, the online news portal Table.Media published excerpts of an eight-page document alleged to be the working paper; it was indeed titled "D-Day Scenarios and Actions" and laid out a strategy as detailed as the original reporting surmised, including strategies to undermine the coalition, communication tactics, and pre-written quotations for Lindner. SZ confronted party leaders with the excerpts and gave them a 1:30 p.m. deadline to respond to questions. The party did not, but instead officially released the full paper at 6 p.m. with a statement from Djir-Sarai claiming it was "to prevent false impressions ... of the paper" by the media.<a href="#cite_note-80">[73]</a> According to the party, the paper was first prepared by Federal Managing Director Carsten Reymann on 24 October "to deal with the questions surrounding how the exit of the FDP from the government could be communicated", and the "purely technical paper" was not presented to legislators or government members.<a href="#cite_note-81">[74]</a> Djir-Sarai and Reymann resigned the next day to take responsibility for the paper's contents.

Scholz and Merz were invited to a debate on 9 February, while Habeck and Weidel were invited to a separate face-off on 10 February. This represented a change from the 2021 campaign, when ARD and ZDF held a three-way debate between the Union, SPD and Green chancellor candidates. Representatives of AfD and the Greens complained about their candidates' exclusions and claimed the public broadcasters had been biased in their decision. Habeck's campaign spokesperson announced he would decline the invitation and accused ARD and ZDF of "intervening" in the campaign in favor of the two established parties. Weidel's spokesperson demanded her inclusion in a three-way debate based on the AfD's second place in opinion polls and said the party was reviewing legal action against the broadcasters. Lindner and Wagenknecht offered to take Habeck's place in the second debate.<a href="#cite_note-weltdebatten-91">[84]</a><a href="#cite_note-92">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-heute1812-93">[86]</a> On 18 December, Table.Media reported that Scholz had agreed to participate in the ARD–ZDF debate on the condition that he would face off only against Merz, which was accepted by the public broadcasters.
