Germany's top election officials at both federal and state levels were due to meet on Monday to discuss how to prepare for snap elections, which will be the likely outcome of an upcoming parliamentary vote of confidence on Chancellor Olaf Scholz's minority coalition.
However, following the collapse of Scholz's coalition comprising the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP) and Greens last week, it remains unclear when the parliamentary vote will take place.
