Info Session: How Do Elections Work In Germany?

BCB professors of Politics, Boris Vormann and Berit Ebert, invite you to an info session addressing this month's state elections (Landtagswahlen) in Thuringia, Saxony, and Brandenburg and their relevance for the nationwide election next year, the Election to the 21st German Bundestag on 28 September 2025. You will learn how the state and federal elections in Germany are linked to EU politics and the European Parliament Election earlier this year, as well as to the global political climate. We will also talk about implications for (civil) society and for people living in Germany without German passports.

Boris Vormann is Professor of Politics and Director of the Politics Concentration at BCB. His research and teaching lie at the intersection of comparative political economy and economic geography and focus on the role of the state in globalization and urbanization processes; nations and nationalism; and the crisis of democracy.

Dr. Berit Ebert holds a PhD in Political Science and is member of the faculty at Bard College Berlin. She specializes in European Union law. Her current research interests lie at the intersection of gender equity, democracy, and the rule of law, as well as the judicial reform in Poland, and subnational influence on supranational policymaking.
