Information for voters

The members of the European Parliament are elected in each member state by a system of proportional representation on the basis of lists or single transferable votes.

A voter’s notification informs those eligible to vote that they have been entered in the voters’ register.

Persons entitled to vote who are entered in a voters’ register do not need a specific reason to exercise their right to vote by post. To this end, they have to apply to the municipality of their main residence for a polling card to be issued.

Voters with disabilities may exercise their right to vote in a self-determined way at elections in Germany.
