In the European election on 9 June 2024, CDU came first in Limburg-Weilburg with 36.7% of the vote; in Hesse CDU got 30.0%. The bars show the European election shares, the small figures the gap to the 2025 federal election in the same area.

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.
