Because the new political party Alternative for Germany only received 4.7% of the list vote and also failed to win any constituency seats in the Bundestag, nearly 15% of the list vote and over 10% of constituency votes were ultimately wasted on parties that gained no seats.
Budući da je nova politička stranka Alternativa za Njemačku dobila samo 4,7% glasova na listi i nije uspjela osvojiti nijednu izbornu jedinicu u Bundestagu, gotovo 15% glasova na listi i više od 10% glasova birača na kraju je izgubljeno na stranke koje nisu dobile mjesta.
