Europawahl Durchführung

You can find out how to vote in the polling station in a European election here.

You cast your vote on an official ballot paper. You will receive this from the electoral committee when you enter the polling station. With the ballot paper you go to the voting booth. There you mark the ballot paper and fold it so that your identification cannot be recognized.
Then you come to the table of the election committee. Upon request, you hand over your polling card or identify yourself. The secretary of the electoral committee then checks whether you are listed in the voters' register. If this is the case, you can put your ballot paper in the ballot box. The secretary will then note that you have cast your vote.
