2024 European election in Briefwahl VG Simmern-Rheinböllen
In the European election on 9 June 2024, CDU came first in Briefwahl VG Simmern-Rheinböllen with 32.5% of the vote; in Rhineland-Palatinate CDU got 30.7%. The bars show the European election shares, the small figures the gap to the 2025 federal election in the same area.
In the 2024 European election, CDU was the strongest party in Briefwahl VG Simmern-Rheinböllen with 32.5%, −1.1 points compared with the 2025 federal election.
Why do the European and federal elections differ?
The European election has no electoral threshold, so small parties such as Volt, Die PARTEI or the animal-welfare party win more votes. Turnout is much lower, and the political mood shifted between June 2024 and February 2025. The single European-election vote is compared with the second vote of the federal election in the same area; parties that count as Others in 2025 get no difference.
Where do these figures come from?
Official final result of the 2024 European election from the Federal Returning Officer's polling-district statistics, aggregated to the municipality. Postal votes counted by a joint administration are not included here.
