apply for a postal vote

  • service description

    If you have received a voter notification but cannot or do not wish to vote in person at your polling station on election day, you can apply for postal voting documents. You will find the application form on the back of your voter notification. The postal ballot can be requested in writing or verbally from the municipal authority.

    You will then receive the following election documents:

    • a ballot paper
    • an official ballot paper
    • an official ballot envelope
    • an official light red ballot envelope and
    • A leaflet with important information about postal voting.

    If you collect your ballot and postal voting documents in person from the city or town hall, you can also cast your vote there immediately. The administration will ensure that you can mark your ballot paper and place it in the ballot envelope without being observed.

    Are you unable to cast your postal vote alone due to a physical disability or reading and writing difficulties? Then another person may assist you. Your assistant must

    • be at least 16 years old,
    • confirm by means of a statutory declaration that the ballot paper was marked according to your stated wishes and
    • Keep the information obtained regarding your vote secret.
