Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Alternative Für Holzminden	0	No	The AfH supports national security and a capable defense, but compulsory service should remain limited and proportionate. Extending conscription to ages 18–25 places unnecessary restrictions on education, employment, and individual freedom without a clear need established by this proposal. A strong nation also requires a free and productive citizenry.
