Postal vote:
By 3 p.m. on Monday, February 17, the postal voting offices had processed over 11,000 postal vote applications (12,257 in total in 2021).
It is no longer possible to apply for postal voting documents online, as the timely delivery of the documents by post can no longer be guaranteed. Due to the postal delivery times, all interested parties are generally advised to only apply for and collect postal votes directly from the postal voting offices from Wednesday.
You can still vote directly at the postal voting offices until Friday by presenting your identity card or passport and - if available - the polling card sent to you.
In the Salzgitter-Bad branch office and in Salzgitter-Lebenstedt town hall, the postal voting office for the Bundestag election is still open at the following times:
- Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the usual times (opens in a new tab)
- Friday afternoon only in Lebenstedt until 3 p.m. (please note the information on the entrance door)
The postal voting offices are barrier-free.
Applying for and receiving postal voting documents on behalf of another person is only possible with appropriate authorization and for a maximum of four people. In the event of sudden serious illness, the ballot paper and postal voting documents can still be applied for and issued on Saturday, February 22, between 11.00 am and 12.00 noon and on election Sunday from 8.00 am to 3.00 pm. If you have any questions, please contact the postal voting office on 05341 / 839-3665.
