Bundestag election 2025
Value notification lost? You should do that now
Most election notifications have now been sent for the Bundestag election on February 23. What are you good for? And what if I lose it?
For many citizens, they probably already stuck in the mailboxes: the election notifications for the Bundestag election on February 23. Anyone who owns German citizenship and is of legal age on election day will receive this letter.
In order to obtain the election notification, you have to do nothing – actually -: it is automatically sent. When this happens exactly depends on the respective community.
You can read all the latest news about the early new elections.
How do I know in which polling station I have to choose?
The election notification therefore says that you can choose – and it also includes further important information: in which polling station you should choose and what your address is. This is often schools or other public institutions.
Incidentally, there is a separable card on the election notification, which can be taken to the polling station on February 23, but does not have to. It is sufficient if you have a identity card or a passport to show yourself in the polling station.
Not preserved election notification? You should do that
However, if you have not received any election notification by February 2, you should definitely ask in the municipality of the respective main residence. Because then it may be that you are not in the electoral register. To be allowed to choose, you have to be entered there.
Value notification lost? You should do that now
To choose, you should take the notification with you on the election day. If only because the exact address of the polling station is on it. But you don’t need this paper. So it is not bad if you have lost it.
But how do you find out the right polling station without this note? This goes over the Internet, through the polling characters of the respective municipality: Simply enter the address where you are registered in the search slot. Alternatively, a call to the responsible election office also helps.
But what you absolutely have to take to the polling station on election day is a document that can be used to identify yourself, i.e. the ID card or passport. Because the election workers have to check whether you are also entered in the electoral register.
