Berlin corrects vote count AfD gains direct mandate

Oct 2

AUF1 reports a correction to Berlin's election count giving AfD another direct mandate in Spandau. It attributes the cause to a district election-official explanation of a counting error and says altered compensatory mandates reduce the expected House of Representatives from 158 to 153 members. It leaves open whether the error is isolated and recalls Marcel Luthe's pre-election complaint that officials concealed information such as voting-booth numbers. The report does not establish deliberate fraud, other proven counting errors or final certification.

AUF1 reports a correction to the September 20 Berlin election result after a Spandau counting error gives AfD another direct mandate. It attributes the error explanation to district election officials and says revised compensatory mandates reduce the expected parliament from 158 to 153 members. It leaves open whether other errors exist and recalls Marcel Luthe's earlier transparency criticism. This is a reported count correction, not a finding of intentional fraud or proof of a widespread pattern; the allocation remains provisional at this stage.
