Mainz / Bad Ems (dpa / lrs) - A good two months before the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate, the state election committee only approved 13 of the 15 state lists submitted in Mainz on Wednesday.
The Liberal-Conservative Reformers (LKR) and Alliance C - Christians for Germany did not get a chance, as the state election control in Bad Ems announced.
The number of necessary signatures from supporters was not enough for them.
This means that the five parties represented in the state parliament will be running for the state elections on March 14th: the traffic light factions of the state government - SPD, FDP and Greens - and the opposition parties CDU and AfD.
There are also smaller parties: the Left, the Free Voters, the ÖDP, the Party, the Animal Welfare Party and the pirates.
There are two new lists that focus on climate protection: the Volt party and the Klimaliste voters' association.
The failed Alliance C - Christians for Germany had also submitted a list for a state election in Rhineland-Palatinate for the first time.
The liberal-conservative reformers, who had also failed, had also presented themselves under this name for the first time, but had already started with a list of Alfa.
According to the new state election law, small parties only needed the signatures of 520 and no longer of 2080 supporters to be allowed to vote on March 14th due to the corona conditions.

According to the regional election control, the order of the lists on the ballot is initially based on the number of second votes that the respective party received in the state elections in 2016.
New candidate lists follow these in alphabetical order of their name.
All parties compete with a country list.
