Underage Election in 2009: Poll for Individuals Under the Voting Age
U16 Elections in Wesel: A Practice Vote for the Future
The city of Wesel is gearing up for a unique event, the U16 elections, taking place from 2nd to 5th September. This practice election is designed to give younger individuals a taste of democratic processes and rules, and an opportunity to express their opinions and wishes for their future.
The U16 elections mimic real elections, with ballot papers, voting booths, ballot boxes, and a count of results. The event is a nationwide action promoting democracy for individuals under 16, and is organized by the state youth council and associations in municipalities.
Several locations across the city will serve as polling stations. The Youth House Come In in Wesel-Fusternberg, for instance, will be open to the public from 2nd to 4th September during its opening hours. The Youth Center Karo and Youth Café Schepersfeld will open their doors on 4th and 5th September during their opening hours. The Youth House Katakomben in Wesel-Obrighoven and the Youth House Upstairs in Wesel-Flüren will be open on 4th September, and the Youth House Skyline in Wesel-Blumenkamp will be open from 1st to 4th September.
The Comprehensive School am Lauerhaas will also serve as a voting location for students on 4th September. Additionally, Naju Wesel - Naturschutzzentrum Wesel will be open on 5th September from 14:00 to 17:00.
The exact polling locations for the U16 elections are in different youth houses and other venues around Wesel. These include the youth centers mentioned above, but a detailed specific list of all polling sites was not found in the search results.
The U16 elections in Wesel are supported by the Stadtjugendring Wesel and various youth organizations, including Eselrock e.V., Evangelische Jugend An Issel und Rhein (represented by youth centers like Skyline in Arche Blumenkamp and Jugendhaus Upstairs in Flüren).
The decision on whom to vote for is left to each participant's discretion. The election focuses on the election of the council and the mayor in Wesel. The results for Wesel will be published Friday evening on the site.
Throughout the week, participants will be informed about the election, positions, committees, tasks, and electoral principles in schools, clubs, or youth centers. The U16 elections aim to provide insights into democratic processes and rules, and offer opportunities for younger individuals to make their voices heard.
