Wahl-O-Mat: Welche Parteien bei der Berlin-Wahl 2026 am besten zu Ihnen passen

Berlin will elect a new city parliament on September 20, 2026. The campaign focuses on housing and rent, functioning city administration, mobility, as well as education, cultural and sports policy. If you want to know which party in Berlin best represents your position, the Wahl-O-Mat can help. This question-and-answer tool allows you to compare your own stance on various topics with the positions of the parties running in the election.

The tool provides an overview of the most important election topics and the parties' controversial answers. The parties create and approve their own answers and explanations. All parties eligible for the Abgeordnetenhaus (city parliament) election are invited to participate. Detailed information on the Wahl-O-Mat for the Berlin city parliament election can be found on the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) website.

The bpb is a federal authority that aims to promote democratic awareness in the population and encourage active, critical, and engaged participation in political life. The agency was established under a decree from the Federal Ministry of the Interior on January 24, 2001, and has been operating since 1952. A 22-member Kuratorium ensures politically balanced work within the bpb.

The online tool has been available since 2002 and is updated with current information before federal and European Parliament elections. The city parliament election in Berlin takes place on Sunday, September 20. Polling stations are open from 8 AM to 6 PM. An alternative to the Wahl-O-Mat for all undecided voters is the Sozial-O-Mat offered by Diakonie Berlin-Brandenburg-Schlesische Oberlausitz.

This tool allows voters to compare parties' positions on social issues such as housing, health and caregiving, poverty and society, migration and integration, and children and youth. In total, 17 parties are authorized to participate in the 2026 Berlin city parliament election.
