Wahlhelfer wanted: Lower Saxony fights for new elections!

Göttingen, Deutschland - The preparations for the early Bundestag election in Lower Saxony are in full swing! On February 23, 2025, it will be serious and the municipalities face a huge challenge: the search for election helpers is the greatest hurdle. A spokesman for the city of Göttingen emphasizes that the short -term election organization is sporty but feasible. However, the holidays bring additional difficulties because they cost valuable working days.

election helping deficiency: Cities react!

in Braunschweig, Wolfsburg and Salzgitter, a call is already started to win election workers. The cities urgently need support to fill the electoral offices and count the votes. A lack of almost 500 volunteers, which are responsible for the examination and counting of the postal voting certificates, is particularly complained about in the Harburg district. In order to counteract the deficiency, the city of Goslar plans to reduce the number of electoral districts by a third - a drastic measure that has already shown problems with the recruitment of election workers in the past.

preparations in full swing

Emden has already reserved voting rooms and plans to use around 350 election helpers. Although an official call for a message is still pending, the situation is observed closely to see how many of the already registered helpers are actually available. In Oldenburg, too, the procurement of ballot papers and envelopes is busy. City spokesman emphasize that every voter can apply as an election worker - and best online! The preparations are in full swing, and the cities hope for numerous volunteers to make the election smoothly.
