Germany's Federal Constitutional Court has ordered a partial rerun of the 2021 national election in Berlin due to severe glitches at many polling stations in the capital. The court ruled that the election must be repeated in 455 of the 2,256 precincts in the city, following complaints from the main conservative opposition bloc seeking a more extensive rerun. The new vote is set to take place within 60 days, after the court slightly widened the scope of a new vote agreed upon by parliament.

The initial election, which took place on September 26, 2021, saw Berlin facing logistical difficulties, with polling stations running out of ballot papers, receiving ones for the wrong district, and exit polls being made public while voters were still in line at the close of polling stations. This chaos led to a large number of invalidated ballots, prompting the court's decision to order a partial rerun.

Although opinion polls now paint a different picture from the results of the 2021 election, the limited rerun is not expected to significantly affect the government's majority. Berlin's top election official, Stephan Bröchler, has announced that the new vote will be held on February 11, with the result unlikely to have any major effects beyond rectifying the issues from the original election.
