The Internet allows new and fascinating exchanges between citizens and politics. For Germany’s upcoming September 22 general election, we launched this weeka map to help German voters find information about the the country's 299 voting districts and learn about the candidates in all of Germany's electoral district. On election night, the map will display official results.
This new feature adds to our recently launched Election Page which aims to allow voters to make informed choices. Our motto is "2013+you. It's your election. Take part in the discussion.” The page tracks the campaign’s hottest topics with news, video and other links. It includes a new debating tool on Google+ that allows anybody, with just a few clicks, to participate in discussions and join the German language Google+ Community, "Politics & Elections."
A new series of "Hangouts" with politicians are being held on blogger Tilo Jung’s "Jung & Naiv" site. In these video chats, he addresses young, often first-time voters. Tilo already has hosted Pirate party politician Marina Weisband and Social Democrat Chancellor Candidate, Peer Steinbrück .
Another election partner politik-digital.de , provides for the selection of editorial content on google.de/wahle n. Much more is planned: we will continue to provide interesting Google search trends. And on election night we will provide fresh election results as they come. Keep coming to our election page and participate!
