Register of voters for the mayoral election Registration

An official electoral roll is kept by the municipality for each electoral district. All citizens who are entitled to vote on election day are entered in this register. In principle, eligible voters who are registered as having their main residence in the municipality on the 42nd day before the election are entered in the electoral roll ex officio. The municipality will send you a polling card by the 21st day before the election at the latest.

Note: The election notification is also valid for any second ballot that may be necessary. This will be necessary if none of the candidates received the required majority in the first ballot.

If you have not received a polling card by the 21st day before the election, you should immediately check with your local authority whether you are on the electoral roll. If this is not the case, you can apply to be entered.

If your circumstances are different, e.g. if you moved to the municipality after the 42nd day before the election or have a permanent residence as a secondary residence, please contact the municipal electoral authority immediately.
