Stuttgart II (electoral district)

Stuttgart 2 is an electoral constituency (German: Wahlkreis) formerly represented automatically in the Bundestag. It used to elect one member via first-past-the-post voting. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 259. It is located in central Baden-Württemberg, comprising the northern part of the city of Stuttgart.

Stuttgart II was created for the inaugural 1949 federal election. Whilst the Christian Democratic Union won a 31.6% plurality in the 2025 election, which earned them 29 seats, they won 35 of 38 (92%) of the constituencies in the state. Under the new voting system, this candidate and constituency was among the 6 who did not actually win a seat in the Bundestag. This was due to the distribution of seats among the winning CDU candidates being decided by the first (direct) vote percentage of each winning CDU candidate, determining who took the seats. As this CDU candidate got a vote (30.4%) at the lower end of the results of CDU candidates, this seat and five others will remain vacant throughout the 21st Bundestag.
