  Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the German Bundestag
As a result, for the 1953 election the five percent threshold was set at the federal level, and the number of parties represented in the legislature dropped to seven.
The Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) consists of a lower house, the Bundestag, whose members are directly elected by universal adult suffrage, and an upper house, the Bundesrat, composed of representatives appointed by the Länder.
Prior to the German reunification of 1990 (in which the Länder of the German Democratic Republic were incorporated into the FRG), there were 496 seats in the chamber: for the post-reunification legislative elections held in 1990, 160 seats were added to represent the new Länder and Berlin, for a total of 656 seats.

 German federal election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
German federal elections took place on September 18, 2005 to elect the members of the 16th German Bundestag, the federal parliament of Germany.
The Federal Constitutional Court ruled in a similar situation in 1983 that Chancellors may not ask the President for the Bundestag's dissolution merely for the sake of their desire for an early election; they have to have a real problem getting a majority for his legislation.
Early election polls during summer 2005 from 6 organizations showed a solid lead for the CDU/CSU with a share of the vote ranging between 41% and 43%, and the SPD trailing at between 32% and 34%.

 Introduction to the German Federal Election System
All Germans are entitled to vote in elections for the German Bundestag who are at least 18 years old on election day, have lived in the electoral area for at least three months, and have not been disqualified by judicial decision.
Germans residing in a member state of the Council of Europe are now entitled to vote in elections held in the Federal Republic of Germany irrespective of how long they have been living abroad.
General and direct elections by secret ballot were envisaged for the first time in German history in the electoral law of the North German Confederation enacted on 17 April 1867, the electoral law for the Reichstag of 31 May 1869, and the law on elections for the German Reich of 16 April 1871.

 The Chancellor of Germany - German Government and Politics
The federal government consists of the chancellor and his or her cabinet ministers.
For that reason, some observers refer to the German political system as a "chancellor democracy." The chancellor's authority emanates from the provisions of the Basic Law and from his or her status as leader of the party or coalition of parties holding a majority of seats in the Bundestag.
Every four years, after national elections and the seating of the newly elected Bundestag members, the federal president nominates a chancellor candidate to that parliamentary body; the chancellor is elected by majority vote in the Bundestag.

 KOHL, Helmut Josef Michael @ Archontology.org: presidents, kings, prime ministers, biography, database
After Kohl was elected federal chairman of the CDU on 12 Jun 1973, he entered the 1976 federal elections as the chancellor candidate of the CDU, but lost to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) led by Helmut Schmidt.
On 17 Dec 1982 a vote of confidence to Kohl's government in the Bundestag failed [2], and on 7 Jan 1983 the Federal President Karl Carstens dissolved the lower chamber of the German parliament.
These policies were confirmed by victory in the federal elections of 25 Jan 1987, although the CDU/CSU–FDP coalition held a reduced majority (269 seats at 249-seat absolute majority).
