Voting pass lost, not received or damaged? Apply for a new voting pass in time
What is a voting pass?
All eligible voters will receive a voting pass no later than Wednesday, October 15. You can find out where you can vote with this voting pass in the leaflet accompanying the voting pass and on the back of the list of candidates delivered door-to-door. Do not forget to bring valid proof of identity (e.g. passport, driver's license or identity card). You are required to show this to the chairman of the polling station. The proof of identity may not have expired for more than 5 years.
Voting card lost, not received or damaged?
You can apply for a replacement voting pass at the City Hall front desk until noon on Tuesday, October 28, at the latest.
On Tuesday, October 28 at noon, the Register of Invalid Voting Passes will be prepared. The Register of Invalid Voting Passes is used at the polling stations to check that no voting passes are being used that are no longer legally valid (for example, because the voter has applied for a replacement voting pass, has granted a proxy which has caused the voting pass to expire, or the voting pass holder has died). Therefore, the request for a replacement voting pass must be received at the municipality no later than Tuesday, October 28 by 12:00 noon. In particular, the QR code on your voting pass must not be damaged.
