Final national results from the Federal Returning Officer. The 1990 election was the first Bundestag election covering reunified Germany; subsequent elections continue the Federal Republic series. Shares use second (party-list) votes, not constituency first votes. Official abbreviations are retained for small lists. Parties or independent candidates with only first votes have no party-list vote figure. Independent/other constituency nominations are grouped as in the official source.
