By-election in Cambs: Citizens decide on missing community representatives!

In an exciting post-election drama in Cambs, Ludwigslust-Parchim district, four new community representatives were elected on Sunday! Mayor Felix Rüß confirmed in an interview with NDR 1 Radio MV that the election became necessary after only three of eight seats could be filled in the local elections in June. The reason? Voters focused almost entirely on three candidates, making it impossible to fill the remaining seats!

On November 10th, over 500 eligible voters were called upon to cast their votes. The voter turnout was around 39 percent, which shows that the interest in political participation in the community was noticeable. According to the local election law of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, this by-election was essential to fill the missing seats and complete the municipal council.

Important details about the by-election

The Cambs by-election is a crucial step in strengthening democratic representation in the community. With the new representatives, the municipal council will now be fully staffed, which is of great importance for political stability and decision-making on site. The election also shows that citizens are willing to actively participate in shaping their community, despite the challenges brought by the previous election.
