- Abstract
Not only since the accusation of a “stolen election”, which Trump used in the aftermath of the 2020 US presidential election, the question of the integrity of elections has also gained media relevance in the German context. As in 2017, reports of fake news and foreign cyber-attacks accompanied the election campaign in 2021. In addition, the Corona pandemic and the increased proportion of postal voters as well as irregularities in the electoral process, such as the problems in Berlin polling stations, provided further sources of doubt about the integrity of the electoral process. In light of these events, the question arises how the electoral integrity of the 2021 German Parliament election was evaluated by citizens. In addition to examining respondents’ trust in the electoral process in the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) cross-section, this paper focuses on political trust, voting decisions and media use as predictors of the evaluation of electoral integrity.
