2024 European election in Westerwaldkreis
Vote shares in per cent, difference from the 2025 federal election in points

Change compared with 2025 federal election.

In the 2024 European election, CDU was the strongest party in Westerwaldkreis with 37.3%, +3.3 points compared with the 2025 federal election. Turnout was 67.2% (2025 federal election: 83.1%).

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.
