The election will be held in all twelve Berlin districts on 20 September 2026 from 8am to 6pm.
You will receive an election notification card (Wahlbenachrichtigung) by post at your Berlin registered address. It will be sent from mid-August and should be delivered to you by 30 August 2026 at the latest.
The address of your polling station is printed on the election notification card.
For the BVV (Bezirksverordnetenversammlung) election, you are entitled to vote at a different polling station within your constituency. However, in order to do so you must apply for a voting certificate in advance (see Not in Berlin on election day?).
You must bring an official photo ID (ID card or passport).
At the polling station, you will receive a ballot paper for the BVV election. You have one vote and may only put one cross.
