With the polls coming earlier in February, new citizens need to ensure they’re on the electoral register by February 21st to vote, a deadline for the upcoming federal elections.

German citizens are automatically registered to vote based on their residence, whereas foreigners must actively ensure they have registered as German nationals on their Anmeldung.

The local authorities will send out voter information cards around February 2nd, making early registration crucial for new German nationals hoping to participate in the elections.
