All Berlin residents who are 16 years and older, hold EU citizenship, have lived there for three months and were registered six weeks before the election[1] are eligible to vote for the districts' assemblies.
In order to be eligible to vote for the parliament of Berlin (Abgeordnetenhaus), one has to be 18 years old and hold German citizenship, too.
The first general, direct and democratic elections to the Abgeordnetenhaus were held in West Berlin on 3 December 1950.
The constituencies for elections to the House of Deputies (Abgeordnetenhaus) are the same as for the District Assemblies (Bezirksverordnetenversammlungen).
Whereas the voting districts are roughly equivalent to the constituencies for the elections to the Federal Diet (Bundestag).
