Saxony is represented by 30 MPs in the new Bundestag. This was announced by the federal electoral administration. 15 politicians made it into parliament via a direct mandate in their constituencies, 15 politicians entered the Bundestag via the state lists of their parties. The AfD won the Bundestag election in Saxony with 37.3% of the second votes.
Saxony was previously represented in the Bundestag by 38 MPs, 16 of whom had won a direct mandate in the 16 constituencies in the 2021 election. However, due to the electoral law reform, not all winning constituency candidates automatically entered the Bundestag in the current election.
They only received a mandate if their party received enough second votes. As a result, the previously common overhang and compensatory mandates no longer applied. As a result, the Bundestag became smaller and now only has 630 MPs.
