Voting for the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag) elections has commenced at the polling stations
Düsseldorf residents have several options to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming elections.
For those who prefer to vote in person, the Election Office at Mecumstraße 10 is open and ready to receive voters. The office is open from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm, and on Saturdays, 8 am to 2 pm. It is recommended to use public transportation to reach the office, as parking options on site are limited. However, paid parking lots are available at Brinckmannstraße 5 and Volksgarten. For individuals with exceptional walking difficulties, parking spaces are located at the back of the building, accessible from Gurlittstraße.
For those who cannot make it to the polling station on election day, advance voting at the direct voting office at the Statistics and Elections Office is an option. No appointment is necessary for this service. Voters should bring their election notice and an identification document (ID card or passport) to cast their vote. The red voting envelope can be returned to the Statistics and Elections Office letter box by 6 pm on election day at the latest. It is important to note that later arriving postal votes may not be considered in the election.
Additionally, for those who prefer to vote by mail, postal voting documents have already been handed over to the post office. However, the red voting envelope should be returned to the Statistics and Elections Office no later than February 19. It should be returned free of charge as a standard letter within the area of Deutsche Post AG.
