WIESBADEN/BERLIN – At the Bundestag election on 26 September 2021, polling stations in some of Berlin’s constituencies closed temporarily as they had the wrong ballot papers or none at all and voters stood in line outside polling stations for other organisational reasons. The Federal Returning Officer therefore filed an objection with the German Bundestag on 19 November 2021 contesting the validity of the election to the 20^th German Bundestag.
