The decision aid Wahl-O-Mat of the Federal Centre for Political Education for the federal election has been used as often as never before in a federal election campaign since its online release.
This was reported by a spokesperson of the Federal Centre to the “Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland”. “The Wahl-O-Mat has been used 21,533,536 times so far until Monday evening, just before midnight”, he said to RND. “In 2021, there were a total of 21,300,000 uses. This means it’s already a record of use. Never before has the Wahl-O-Mat been used as frequently in such a short time as before this federal election.”
With the online tool, voters can compare their own position with that of all 29 parties running for election in 38 theses. They can agree with the theses, reject them, position themselves neutrally, or skip them. A percentage value shows the degree of agreement at the end.
