Election date remains unaffected
The district administration in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg has proposed an expansion of the electoral district, which until now was entirely on the Friedrichshain side, to include the Kreuzberg side. This move has sparked controversy, with critics suggesting tactical motives as the Greens typically perform better in Kreuzberg.
However, the district assembly has rejected the proposed expansion and voted for an alternative option instead. The dispute remains unresolved.
To maintain orderly elections, the district administration has decided to proactively involve the district oversight in the matter. The Berlin Senate Department for the Interior and Sport (Senatsverwaltung für Inneres und Sport) is responsible for verifying the legality of district election proposals in Berlin to ensure the electoral district divisions for the House of Representatives elections 2025 can be published in the official gazette.
Iris Spranger, Berlin's Interior Senator, has assured that the House of Representatives election will not be delayed. The election, scheduled for September 20, 2022, will have one fewer electoral district due to the redrawing.
Rolfdieter Bohm, the district election officer in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, has stated that if the electoral districts are not determined by October 4, there could be a voting error, and the House of Representatives election could be at risk of contestability.
No new information about the potential delay or contestability of the House of Representatives election was provided. The Left, SPD, and CDU have criticized the approach of the district administration under Green district mayor Clara Herrmann. No new information about the opinions of these political parties was provided.
The district oversight will now handle the issue of redrawing electoral districts. The legality of the resolutions passed in the district assembly recently is set to be reviewed. No new information about Iris Spranger, Berlin's Interior Senator, or Rolfdieter Bohm, the district election officer in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, was provided in this paragraph.
The number of electoral districts in the new division remains undisclosed. The district administration aims to resolve the dispute and ensure a fair and orderly election process for the citizens of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.
