Explanation
For federal elections to the German Bundestag, the active voting age is 18, as established in Article 38 of the Basic Law and the Federal Elections Act.
Tips
- Identify whether the question is about federal (Bundestag) versus state/local/European elections—federal voting has stricter age limits.
- Watch for common distractors like 16 (used in some states for local/European elections).
- Use constitutional references: Article 38 GG governs Bundestag elections.
- Distinguish active voting age from other ages (e.g., candidacy, different election levels) to eliminate higher or lower numbers.
