2036 German State Elections

On June 13th, 2036, the first Harmonised German State Elections will be held. All the states came together and decided to hold elections at the same time. They argued this would be easier on the event commissioners.

Parties Running:
CDU/CSU: The CDU/CSU (die Union) is traditionally the strongest party in Germany, but recently they have stagnated due to being unable to gain significant support amongst young people and losing to centrist and right wing parties. Their last Bundeskanzler was Armin Laschet, who governed between 2021 and 2025 before losing to Habeck. However, on a state level they are still in government in a lot of states. States governed by CDU/CSU PMs: Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Saarland, Rheinland-Pfalz, Hessen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Sachsen.

SPD/Grüne: SPD and Grüne recently, whilst still officially seperate parties, have agreed to run an unified party list for the upcoming elections. SPD is traditionally the largest party on the left and is forming the brunt of the old guard of this alliance, however many of the rising stars are from die Grüne, as is the Bundeskanzler. States governed by SPD include: Hamburg, Bremen, North Rhine Westphalia and Brandenburg. States governed by die Grüne include: Schleswig-Holstein and Niedersachsen.

AfD: AfD is a right-wing, libertarian party that in it's modern form was founded in 2023 when Friedrich Merz led an exodus of the right wing of the CDU to the party. It is in opposition in every state in the country.

LHD (Liberale und Humanistische Demokraten): LHD is a socially liberal, economically centre-right party. Whilst in the past the FDP was seen as the party of CEOs and industrialists, nowadays they are working to get rid of that association by allowing the middle class into the gentlemens' club as well.

Die Linke: Die Linke is a left-wing party in Germany. Whilst in the past it was more dominant in the east, it has recently slowly lost support to the SPD and Grüne. The party is hoping that with Nick Curtis as Prime Minister they can finally make a new breakthrough.

2032 Election Result:
Note: Actual seat count can be different due to recent mergers. The largest party in the 2032 result may not be the actual largest party in the state assembly.
