Verkleinerung des Bundestags: Was die Ampel-Vorschläge bedeuten – am Beispiel Schwandorf

Seit der Wahl im Jahr 2021 ist der Bundestag mit 736 Abgeordneten größer als je zuvor. Selbst das europäische Parlament ist inzwischen kleiner. Die Ampel will ein neues Wahlrecht, die Union weniger Wahlkreise – beides hätte Folgen.

von Alexander Pausch

Abgeordnete verfolgen im Deutschen Bundestag während einer Fragestunde die Befragung der Bundesregierung. Die Fraktionen von SPD, Grünen und FDP haben einen Gesetzesentwurf für eine Wahlrechtsreform vorgelegt. Sollte dieser angenommen werden, sinkt die Zahl der Abgeordneten wieder auf die Regelgröße von 598.
