Ungültiger

Ungültiger is a German adjective that translates to "invalid" or "void" in English. It is used to describe something that is not legally or officially recognized as correct, true, or effective. This can apply to a variety of contexts, including documents, signatures, votes, or legal proceedings.

For example, an "ungültiger Ausweis" would be an identification card that is no longer valid, perhaps because it has expired or been altered. An "ungültiger Stimmzettel" would be a ballot that cannot be counted because it was filled out incorrectly or marked in a way that makes it unidentifiable or ambiguous. In legal terms, a contract or agreement might be declared "ungültig" if it was made under duress, involves illegal activity, or fails to meet specific legal requirements.

The concept of being "ungültiger" implies a lack of validity or legal standing. It signifies that something is considered null and without effect. The precise reason for something being deemed "ungültiger" would typically be explained in the specific context where the term is used.
