Start election notifications: How to secure your postal voting documents!
On January 22, 2026, the municipality of Zeitlarn announced that the dispatch of election notifications for the upcoming local elections will begin at the end of January 2026. These notifications are an important step in the electoral process, as they not only provide citizens with information about the upcoming elections, but also contain an application for the issuance of a voting slip and the sending of postal voting documents.
However, according to legal regulations, postal voting documents may only be sent from February 16, 2026. Until this date, the municipality of Zeitlarn will ask that you refrain from making any inquiries about the postal voting documents. The relevant team will process received applications as quickly as possible to ensure that all voters are well prepared.
Importance of election notifications
An election notification signals that you are registered in the voters' register. This is a basic requirement for participation in the election. According to the Federal Returning Officer, the election notification does not have to be presented in the polling station. However, it is necessary to bring identification, either an ID card or a passport, for identification.
The lack of an election notification could indicate that you are not registered on the electoral roll. In such cases, the electoral board can reject the person concerned, which means that one cannot vote. Anyone who has not received an election notification by February 2, 2025 - 21 days before the election - should urgently contact the responsible municipality to check their entry in the voters' register.
Shipping by Deutsche Post
Deutsche Post will deliver postal voting documents throughout Bavaria from February 16, 2026. However, citizens should be prepared for possible delays. These circumstances underscore the importance of submitting applications for postal voting documents in a timely manner.
In summary, it is crucial for all voters in Zeitlarn to find out about the election notifications and postal voting options early on. The municipality is doing everything it can to ensure everything runs smoothly, to promote high voter turnout and to support democratic processes.
