 Electoral System in Germany
Officials who are popularly elected include Bundestag deputies at the federal level, Landtag representatives or senate members at the Land level, and council members at the district and local levels.
Research indicates that constituency representatives in the Bundestag are more responsive to their electorate's needs and are slightly more likely to follow their constituents' preferences when voting than deputies chosen from the party lists.
Placement near the top of the list is usually given to incumbents, party members of particular political prominence, or members who have the support of a key faction or interest group.

All electoral systems are list systems to a greater or lesser degree, whether that list is list of one or a list of a hundred.
However, in the case of a single list system for an entire authority, it would have to be accepted that in a 50-member authority any party that could obtain 2% of the vote would be entitled to a seat.

Each voter has two votes in an election, and their weighting is normally restricted by combining the majority and proportional electoral systems; thus when the list mandates are calculated with the second votes, the direct mandates (and therefore the first votes) are deducted from the numbers.
