Explanation

The freedom of elections in Germany means that every voter can decide independently and without external pressure whom to vote for. This protects the democratic principle that each citizen's vote is equally valued and that no one should face disadvantages due to their voting choice. These principles are enshrined in the Basic Law and ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
