  "account": "The September 20th sees Mecklenburg-Vorpommern choose a new Landtag. The election campaign focuses on key issues such as economy, bureaucracy reduction, internal security, health, education, migration and asylum. To understand which party's stance aligns with one's own, the website offers the tool. This questionnaire and answer mechanism allows you to compare your views with the parties' positions contesting the election. Here, you'll find essential information on the Landtag's election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the .Wahl-O-Mat and additional digital voting aids. Access the .Wahl-O-Mat for the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Landtag 2026 election here. How the .Wahl-O-Mat operates: Initially, assess statements on state policy by clicking \"vote yes\", \"vote no\", \"neutral\", or \"skip this thesis\". Highlight statements that are particularly important to you. The .Wahl-O-Mat then calculates which party in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern best matches your positions. While the tool provides assistance, it is not a recommendation. The theses and answers originate from an independent team composed of young voters, experts from academia, journalism, and education, and employees of the Federal Center for Political Education (Bpb). The team presents 80 theses to the permitted parties, asking for responses. Subsequently, it selects 38 theses for the .Wahl-O-Mat, covering significant election topics and those with controversial party responses. Party representatives are not part of the thesis creation or selection process; they only submit their answers and justifications. All permitted parties are invited to participate in the Landtag's election. More about the .Wahl-O-Mat for the Landtag's election can be found on the Federal Center for Political Education website.",
