Applying for a polling card and postal voting documents

Anyone who is ill or otherwise unable to do so may authorize a person they trust to collect the ballot (see the back of the election notification).
Polling cards will be sent out by February 22, 2026, at the latest.
The authorized representative needs a written power of attorney and must declare in writing that they are acting on behalf of no more than four people.

Postal voting can be requested in writing by filling out the back of the election notification and sending it in a stamped envelope to the State Capital of Wiesbaden, Election Office, Friedrichstraße 16, 65140 Wiesbaden. The application must be signed by hand.
