What-If Scenarios: The Electoral Threshold
The situation becomes particularly intriguing for parties hovering near the electoral threshold. Here, you take the lead: using the checkboxes, you decide whether a "swing party" enters the Lower Saxony parliament or falls short. If you "vote a party in," its share for the scenario is adjusted to meet the threshold; if you "exclude it," its seats are redistributed. PolitPro then instantly calculates an updated seat distribution, adjusting your coalition options accordingly. Clicking "Reset to Election Trend" will always return you to the baseline of current polling data.
