The next elections will take place on September 14, 2025. These are local elections. For some of our fellow citizens, there is also the election of the Integration Council.
In the city of Aachen, the office of Lord Mayor and the City Council, which decides on all important issues, are at stake. Majorities will also be redefined in the city's seven district councils. In the StädteRegion, to which the City of Aachen belongs along with a number of other municipalities, the StädteRegionstag will be elected. The Integration Council is also elected on September 14. A body that represents the interests of people who have foreign roots and live here in Aachen.
The Lord Mayor and the CityRegion Councillor are elected by majority vote. If not more than half of the valid votes are obtained in the first ballot, a run-off election is held. Any necessary run-off elections will be held on September 28, 2025.

City of Aachen
As an election assistant, you are part of an election committee of six to nine people. In various roles, you work together to ensure that the election is conducted properly. Polling assistants can be deployed in a polling station or a postal voting station.
Citizens' petition
With a citizens' initiative, citizens of a municipality apply to decide on a matter in the form of a referendum instead of the council. Anyone who is eligible to vote in municipal elections in Aachen can submit a petition for a referendum in Aachen. If a referendum is held, the city must provide comprehensive information to all those entitled to vote. The City of Aachen has made the provision that all those entitled to vote receive a so-called "voting booklet" with the notification of the day of the vote.
Postal vote
Persons entitled to vote who are entered in a voters' register may exercise their right to vote by postal vote without a special reason. This is also possible if they are temporarily abroad. To do so, they must apply for a so-called polling card from the municipality of their main place of residence. No justification is required. Postal voting documents are automatically enclosed with the polling card.
