Manaf Hassan wrote that there is a serious legal problem with the Berlin election: the regulation for calculating the seat distribution was removed from the state election regulations on September 19, 2025, even though the state election law refers to this regulation for the procedure. He claimed that the election authority applied the previous Hare/Niemeyer system after the election, even though there was no legal basis for it. Hassan stated that the procedure for seat distribution must be clearly established before an election. From his perspective, a new election repeat is therefore inevitable; otherwise, Berlin politics will lose credibility. #BerlinWahl #ElectionLaw #Politik (translated)
