List of Bundestag constituencies

Under Germany's mixed member proportional system of election, the Bundestag has 299 constituencies ( Wahlkreise ( German: [?vaːl?k?a??z?] ^ⓘ), electoral districts), each of which may elect one member of the Bundestag by first-past-the-post voting (a plurality of votes). ^[a] At least 331 more representatives are elected from closed lists in each of Germany's sixteen Lander , distributed in a manner that ensures that the overall proportion of representatives for each party above the threshold is approximately equal to the proportion of votes its list received nationwide. ^[2]

Voting was last held in Germany's constituencies on 27 September 2021 , determining the members of the 20th Bundestag .
