The 47^th federal election will held in the Weranian Confederation for the Chamber of Deputies (the lower house of the Bundestag of Werania) on or before 1^st June 2023. All 545 deputies will be elected under a mixed-member majoritarian system with 300 through a proportional bloc and 250 through direct mandates.

Electoral process

Werania has since 1952 used a mixed-member majoritarian system. 300 seats are elected by proportional representation with the entire country treated as a single electoral district and a 3% electoral threshold being in place. The other 245 seats are elected via single-member constituencies through a first-past-the-post voting system. The current electoral boundaries for the 245 constituency seats were approved in 2020 by the Electoral Board, with boundaries being decided every 10 years based on census data. Should a party have 273 or more deputies in the Chamber, it has an absolute majority and could thus govern autonomously, without a coalition partner. The constitution can be amended with a supermajority of two-thirds, or 360 deputies.

Voters have to registrar to vote a month before polling day. In order to be eligible to vote one must be over the age of 18, be a citizen of Werania, have a permanent address in Werania and not be currently in prison.

Each party by convention nominates a single "premier candidate" (spitzenkandidat) that leads the party in debates, even if the party has multiple leaders. However only the largest parties spitzenkandidats are considered to be likely to become premier.
