Everyone votes in Tübingen!
New Tübingen initiative calls for symbolic elections before the Bundestag election
From February 1 to 15, 2025, Tübingen residents aged 16 and over who do not have the right to vote in the Bundestag elections can cast their vote at various polling stations in the city. The campaign promotes participation and political education - and draws attention to the fact that federal politics affects everyone.
Around 14 percent of adults in Germany are not allowed to vote in federal elections - and neither are anyone under the age of 18. Although everyone over the age of 16 can vote in local and state elections and, at least in local elections, EU foreigners also have the right to vote, this does not apply to federal elections.
We think that Federal politics concerns everyone who lives here. That's why we from the “Alle Wählen Tübingen” initiative are calling on all people in Tübingen aged 16 and over who are not allowed to vote in the Bundestag elections to cast their symbolic vote from February 1 to 15.
