Election workers urgently needed: How to support democracy!
The local elections, scheduled for March 8th and 9th, 2026, are looming and need support. Loud brennberg.de Election workers are urgently needed to ensure everything runs smoothly. Poll workers are essential for conducting the elections as they perform essential tasks at the polling stations.
The requirements are clearly defined: those interested should be eligible to vote, at least 18 years old and a Union citizen. The division and training of election workers is carried out by the administration. Meals will be provided during the counting on election night, particularly for the votes of the Mayor and City Council members. A refreshment fee of 70 euros will be paid as compensation for expenses.

Workflows and challenges
Poll workers work in shifts, with the first from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the second from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The crucial phase of counting votes begins at 6:00 p.m. The election workers at the postal voting stations must be ready to count by 3:00 p.m.
In a country where around 650,000 to 700,000 poll workers are needed for elections, any support is welcome. In addition to conducting the election, the tasks also include preparing the polling station, monitoring the voting process and the proper counting of votes. Election workers are generally not held liable as long as they carry out their duties properly and are legally insured against accidents.
In summary, registering as a poll worker is not only a way to get involved civically, but also offers an opportunity to actively support democracy. Participation in local elections is an important building block for a vibrant democracy.
