We answer the most important questions about this document for you.
Until when will the election notification for the 2021 state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania come?
Those eligible to vote in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania must be informed of their entry in the electoral roll by 5 September at the latest in order to participate in the election of the state parliament.
This takes place in the form of the voting notification that is sent by post.
The state elections, like the federal elections, will take place on September 26th.
What information do I get with the voting notification?
The voting notification for the state elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is a letter that the cities and municipalities send to everyone entitled to vote.
It not only officially informs about the date of the election.
You will also receive the address of the polling station where you can cast your vote and information about the accessibility of the voting room.
If you would like to cast your vote by postal vote, you will also find out with the voting notification where you can apply for the voting slip.
Please note that you can only change the polling station if you apply for it.
It is not possible to vote spontaneously at another location on election day.
You should therefore check in advance which voting room is provided for you in the voting notification for the MV state election.
MV state election 2021: You have not received an election notification?
You can do that
If you have not received voting notification by September 5, 2021, you should contact your city or municipality.
You should do this as soon as possible so that a possible mistake can be corrected.
On the one hand, it is possible that a problem occurred only with the delivery of the voting notification.
However, it can also happen that a person entitled to vote is not recorded in the electoral roll.
If this happens to you and you do not have the mistake corrected, you will not be able to vote on September 26th.
There is another reason why Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania residents may not receive voting notifications.
You can only participate in the state elections if you have had your main residence in the state for at least three months prior to the election, or if you usually reside there if your place of residence is abroad.
Anyone who recently moved from another federal state and missed this deadline will not be included in the electoral roll.
Do I need the voting notification on election day?
No, because nobody has to show the voting notification at the polling station in order to put crosses on the ballot paper.
The content is for your information only.
It is important, however, that you take your identity card or passport with you.
The election workers must be able to use an identification document to check that you are registered as a voter for this polling station.
Would you like to compare the parties' programs more closely before voting and only then make your decision?
Then use the Wahl-O-Mat from the end of August, which offers you a lot of additional information.
There is also an overview of the current survey values and forecasts.
