Important information on postal voting

For the application for postal voting, an option is required that can be requested from the municipality of the main residence. This can be done personally or in writing. The written application can also be preserved by fax or email. Many municipalities now offer the opportunity to request documents online, while making a telephone application is not possible. On the back of the election notification there is a form for the application, which can also be made before delivery of the election notification.

The following information is required for the application:

• family name
• first name
• date of birth
• Housing address (street, house number, postcode, location)

If the application is made for another person, a written power of attorney is required. Application for other people is only possible personally or in writing. Voters with disabilities have the right to be helped with the application. The relevant legal bases for postal voting are specified in §§ 27, 28 BWO, as the Federal election manager reports.
