Summary created with AI assistance · Source: stuttgarter-zeitung.de
  • Ulrich Siegmund plans to stand in December 2026; the AfD’s 39 of 83 seats leave it three votes short.

  • If no candidate wins an absolute majority in the first ballot, another vote must occur within seven days; 42 votes remain necessary.

  • A second failure would not automatically trigger new elections; within another 14 days, parliament must decide on the electoral term.

  • If the electoral term continues, a third ballot requires a majority of valid votes; abstentions can lower the necessary vote threshold.
