For those who never paid attention to this....nationally in Germany, the election system is set to a four-year standard. For the EU election, state elections, and county/city elections....it's a five-year standard.
Well....for about ten years, there's been a debate lingering that the federal election should shift to a five-year period. This past week....a commission delivered it's analysis of how the gov't functions in Germany, and they suggested a five-year federal schedule.
If you asked me about it being supported within the Bundestag....I'd say that 70-to-80 percent support the idea. Among the public....I think over half the nation has no real opinion. You might even find five percent of the public ready for a ten-year schedule.
So if it would pass....would they start this shortly? The next election is set for the fall of 2025. I personally don't think they'd screw with that date, but in that election....it's possible that you'd be agreeing in some form (maybe on a ballot) that it goes to a five-year standard.
