A little tip: It is advisable to pick up the postal voting documents in person or to vote directly on site. Different postal routes could mean that the voting documents do not arrive on time.

Challenges and expectations
A look at the main election shows that voter turnout on September 28th was 57.6 percent. This could make it exciting to see who ultimately gets the necessary votes, because in order to win the election in the runoff, the candidate needs more than 50 percent of the votes. In addition, only 15 percent of those eligible to vote may count for the decision.
Another highlight is the start of the term of office of the new mayor, who will take office on January 5, 2026. We wish all eligible voters who are at least 16 years old a good voting decision now, so that Oranienburg can be run with a good hand in the coming years!
