Runoff Election for the Mayor in Ansbach on March 22

The citizens of Ansbach are called upon again on March 22, 2026, to elect their mayor. On this day, the runoff election will take place, as the regular local election did not produce a clear winner.

Postal voting made easy

For those who cannot vote in person on March 22, the option of postal voting is available. It should be noted that the election documents must be requested in good time and that the voting letters must arrive punctually at the city hall. The mailing of the postal voting documents can be requested either through the city's citizen service portal or in writing.

Deadlines and legal notes

To ensure that the vote is counted, the voting letters must arrive at the town hall by 6:00 PM on election day at the latest. Citizens who have already requested postal voting should check whether their documents are complete and filled out correctly. The legal requirements for data protection and electoral secrecy are of course adhered to.

With the upcoming runoff election, the election campaign in Ansbach promises to be exciting once again. The city administration appeals to all eligible voters to exercise their right to vote and thus contribute to democratic decision-making.
