Abstract: Abstract The 2013 amendment of the German Federal Election Law (Bundeswahlgesetz 2013, BWG 2013) is described by example. The Bundestag’s seat apportionment obeys strict proportionality by political parties. All second votes in the country acquire practically equal success values. Thereafter a party’s country-wide seats are allocated among its various state-lists of nominees in a way granting precedence to the direct seats won via first votes in single-seat constituencies.
