Leistungen A-Z

A list of persons entitled to vote is kept for each constituency. The electoral roll is the basis for the proper conduct of the election. It ensures that only those entitled to vote take part in the election and cast their vote only once. It is drawn up on the 42nd day before the election by registering all eligible voters with their main residence in the population register in the electoral area ex officio. If, after the 42nd day before the election, you have acquired the right to vote by moving into the electoral area, you will also be registered ex officio. You will receive an election notification by entering it in the voters' register.

However, if there is only a move within the municipality, then the entry remains in the voters' register of the original electoral district.

You are a returnee if you

• do not yet have a main residence in the electoral area,
• have lost your right to vote because you have moved away from the electoral area or moved your main residence, and return to the electoral area and re-establish your main residence.

Newly recruited citizens or so-called returnees are entered in the voters' register ex officio when they move in. The election notification informs about the registration.

Registration takes place until the 2nd day before the election.
