This formal step was necessary because an error was made in the registration of eligible voters in one constituency - 418 people who had applied for postal voting were registered twice. However, this has no effect on the result of the Bundestag election in Bonn - the number of voters, valid and invalid first and second votes as well as the allocation of votes to candidates and parties remains unchanged.

Only the voter turnout will increase slightly from 84.73% to 84.88% as a result of the correction.
