Germany’s highest court on Tuesday ordered the 2021 national election to be partially repeated in the Berlin because of severe glitches at many polling stations in the capital.
The Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the election must be repeated in 455 of 2,256 precincts in the city. It largely upheld a decision by the parliament, which decided last year on a limited rerun with the votes of Chancellor OIaf Scholz's three-party coalition, though it slightly widened the scope of the new vote.
