The local elections 2025! Your voice counts!
In Germany, local elections are held every five years, where citizens elect their local representatives. For refugees and migrants who are not from an EU country, there is a special way to get involved: the election of the Integration Council.
What is the Integration Council?
The Integration Council is an important body in your city. It represents the interests of people with a migration background. It advises the city administration and the city council on all integration matters, for example, on topics like education, work, and housing. The Integration Council is the bridge between the city administration and migrants. It ensures that your concerns are heard.
Who can vote for the Integration Council?
You can vote if you are an adult and have been registered in the city for a longer period. Your residence status or nationality doesn't matter.
How do I find the candidates?
Look for official announcements from the city, in newspapers, or on the city's website.
By voting for the Integration Council, you can actively help shape the future of your new home and ensure that the concerns of refugees and migrants are taken into account in local politics.
Election date: September 14, 2025. Polling stations are open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
