Information on Voting Notifications and Absentee Voting — State Legislative
Election on September 6, 2026—

Voter notification letters, which will be mailed no earlier than July 26, 2026, must be received by eligible voters no later than August 16, 2026. If you have not received your election notification by that date, please contact info@vgem-seehausen.de.

To apply for an absentee ballot, you will find an application form on the back of your election notice.

You can fill out this form and send it to us. Please make sure to include your date of birth, the date of submission, and your signature on the form.

If you are submitting the application on behalf of someone else, please be sure to complete the power of attorney section at the bottom of the form.

You can then submit the completed application form in person at the Residents’ Registration Office during our hours of operation. You can also request voting materials in writing by fax or email from the Residents’ Registration Office. No specific format is required. The following information is required: first and last name, date of birth, residential address, and, if desired, a different mailing address. The administration notes that you cannot apply for an absentee ballot in Seehausen by phone.

Our hours of operation:

Tuesday: 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. / 1:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
