Five categories, never conflated

The difference between these is the whole point. An attacked election is not the same as a falsified one.

Result falsification

The recorded numbers do not reflect the votes cast.

Process violations

Unequal media access, repression, illegal financing, vote buying, misuse of state resources.

Foreign interference

Cyberattacks, hack-and-leak, covert foreign financing, impersonation of media or institutions by a foreign state or proxy.

Information operations

Troll farms, fake local-media networks, covert political ads, coordinated inauthentic amplification — foreign or domestic.

Statistical anomalies

Patterns in the data worth examining — explicitly not proof of fraud.

A finding sits in exactly one category. Colors and icons carry the same meaning everywhere on the site.

Germany 2025 Federal Election

What is established

Information operationsConfirmed
The Storm-1516 operation spread fabricated videos and false claims around the election — targeting Robert Habeck, Annalena Baerbock and Friedrich Merz, and claiming the AfD was missing from Leipzig postal ballots and that Hamburg ballots were destroyed. In December 2025 the German government formally attributed the campaign to GRU-backed Russian actors, describing it as an attempt to influence the election and destabilise the country.

Foreign interferenceCorroborated
The BfV stood up a dedicated election-protection taskforce and publicly warned in January 2025 of illegitimate foreign influence operations aimed at the vote, naming Storm-1516. The later government attribution placed responsibility with Russia's military intelligence, the GRU.

What is not established

Result falsificationDebunked
Claims that the AfD was kept off postal ballots in Leipzig and that ballots were destroyed in Hamburg were fabricated as part of the attributed operation; the actual ballots listed the AfD normally. The count — hand-counted paper ballots in the presence of party agents — was challenged by no court or authority and produced no substantiated fraud finding.
