On Wednesday, November 19, 2025, the Grand Council of the Canton Basel-Stadt convened for its latest meeting. This was the 22nd meeting of the year, featuring two sittings. Despite the absence of votations during this particular session, the council engaged in discussions on various matters, although the exact number of matters discussed is not specified in the data provided.

The meeting's agenda included a variety of political matters, categorized by type and status. However, the data does not specify the breakdown of these matters by type, such as Interpellationen or Anzüge, nor does it provide details on their status, whether adopted, postponed, or pending. This lack of detailed categorization leaves a gap in understanding the specific focus and outcomes of the council's discussions.

Regarding votations, the data indicates that there were no votations conducted during this meeting, as reflected by the zero count in the summary of votations. Consequently, there were no accepted or rejected votes, and no information is available about the number of voters or absentees. With a total membership of 100, the absence of votations suggests a session focused more on deliberation and discussion rather than decision-making through voting.
