SPD to Hold Digital Vote on Coalition Agreement with CDU/CSU

The SPD plans a ten-day digital member vote to approve the coalition deal, with results expected shortly after the process concludes.

The SPD announced a digital vote for party members to approve the coalition agreement with the CDU/CSU, requiring at least 20% member participation for validity.
Members will receive postal codes to access the secure digital voting platform, with provisions for those without digital devices to vote at local party offices.
The voting process is expected to take ten days, with results to be announced within hours of the vote's conclusion.
The coalition negotiations aim to finalize agreements by Easter, with working groups currently addressing specific policy areas.
A critical Bundestag vote on financial plans, including a proposed €500 billion infrastructure investment, could influence the coalition's progress.
