Die Wahl und die Deutsche Politik

A.  Voting in Germany:  A GAPPer  responsed to these questions :

1.  Are Germans required to show a proper ID in order to vote?

"There are lists of voters living in each constituency. Six weeks before election day each voters is notified by a special form. Usually it is enough to bring this form to the polling station in order to vote. It is advisable to bring your identity card (Personalausweis) though, because sometimes they
will ask you to show it. [As every German above the age of 16 is required to have a Personalausweis, there is no problem in taking it along."]

2.  Do Germans display political yard signs?

"German homeowners never display their political leanings in public!  Never! They hardly ever speak about how they vote outside their circles."


B.  Results of poll of 1,051 citizens contacted from 29. -31. Okt:
