Ballot failure in Wuppertal: ballot papers issued with wrong candidates

In Wuppertal there was a momentous breakdown in the federal election on Sunday. District 187 ballot papers were swapped with documents from a neighboring district.

There was a breakdown in the general election in Wuppertal. In electoral district 187, ballot papers from the neighboring constituency were issued with the wrong direct candidates, said district returning officer Johannes Slawig on Sunday evening on request.

Wuppertal: The breakdown was noticed late

There are 203 of 433 ballot papers for which the first votes have already been declared invalid. In another constituency there were six ballot papers. The cause is unclear. Unfortunately, the error in the handing out of the ballot papers at the polling station was not noticed, but only later.

If the error becomes relevant to the mandate, i.e. the result of the direct elections is very close, the electoral district would have to be re-elected. The election committee will decide on this next Wednesday. “Radio Wuppertal” reported first.
