Winner in the voting among the permitted voting topics:
Note: The topic "Abolition of the contribution financing of public broadcasting" has been declared inadmissible after a renewed examination of the admissibility, because the Bundestag is not responsible here, but the state parliaments of the federal states. Correct responsibilities are necessary to ensure the proper conduct of voting.

voting booklet
Before voting, you will be informed! So that everyone is equally informed and can form their own opinion, neutral voting booklets with pro and contra arguments are drawn up and made available to everyone. The voting booklet is an integral part of the voting.
HomeParliaments
Before voting, there is a debate! House parliaments are private rounds of talks that debate a political issue. With the house parliaments, we want to enable civil society engagement where opinions are formed: at home when eating together with the family, when talking to friends and acquaintances in the café, at the regulars’ table or in the park. With the house parliaments, we want to make the exchange of opinions and discussions an integral part of referendums.
Nationwide voting
With ABSTIMMUNG21 we organized the first nationwide referendum in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany - with you! Because more than 160,000 people voted by post on the four topics in September. And we won't stop until nationwide referendums are a reality. So be sure to come back next year!
