Würzburg (electoral district)

Würzburg is a German electoral district (German: Wahlkreis) located in Bavaria. It is designated as electoral district number 251.

The district encompasses the city of Würzburg and parts of the surrounding Landkreis Würzburg (rural district). The exact boundaries of the electoral district are defined by law and are subject to change during redistricting.

In the German Bundestag elections, each electoral district directly elects one representative to the Bundestag through a first-past-the-post system. The candidate who receives the most votes in the district wins the seat. The remaining seats in the Bundestag are then allocated proportionally based on the nationwide party vote share, ensuring overall proportionality in the composition of the parliament.

The Würzburg electoral district has historically been a stronghold for the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU). However, the specific political leanings of the district can vary over time and election cycles. Election results for Würzburg, like other German electoral districts, are publicly available and provide insights into the political preferences of the local electorate. Candidates representing various political parties compete for the direct mandate in Würzburg.
