New count in the election of the mayor: Can Tilman Weber still catch up?

New count in the election of the mayor: Can Tilman Weber still catch up?

Jüterbog, Deutschland - The mayoral election in Jüterbog causes great excitement. In the past few days, the political landscape of the city has changed drastically. Tilman Weber, a non -party candidate, asked for the need to count the votes after the first ballot. In an Instagram post, he informed the public about it. With only eleven votes behind the second-placed Christiane Lindner-Klopsch, Weber sees realistic chances of a place in the runoff election on July 20 against Sabrina Dimde from the community community Jüterbog (BBJ) and the SPD.

The election committee will decide on Tuesday evening in a public meeting on the application for a new count. This is particularly important because the existing electoral system wants to ensure that every voice is counted properly. Weber is not suspicious of the election workers and focuses on the approximately 40 invalid voices. "I want to ensure clarity and trust in the election process," he explains. The law requires concrete references to errors or irregularities to justify a new counting, which has now become necessary in Jüterbog due to the scarce results.

first with the choice

The Jüterboger election management has already signaled that it has an interest in making the recording quickly in order not to endanger the presidential appointment on July 20. A small mistake could be the decisive factor in such a short decision as it is in this case. This is not an isolated case - there were already similar situations in Brandenburg, around 2022 in Märkische Heide, where a new count did not change the election result.

Sabrina Dimde runs with about 30 percent of the vote, followed by Christiane Lindner-Klopsch with 29.3 and Tilman Weber, who came to 29.1 percent. All three candidates are independent in an election campaign that is strongly shaped by the politics of the past few months. Former AfD Mayor Arne Raue took his place in the Bundestag and thus brings a breath of fresh air to Jüterboger politics.

commitment of the election workers

A central point for the correct implementation of the choice are the election workers. Many of them, like the committed wife Schwintzer, have been committed to a fair choice for years. Ms. Schwintzer is now retired, but the political process is important to her, so that she works as a election helper. Their tasks include checking the electoral certificates and counting the voices, which is particularly important to ensure transparency.

In Jüterbog, about 90 percent of the election workers are party members, but this is not absolutely necessary. The election workers receive an allowance and can look forward to free drinks during their work. You will particularly find the opportunity to meet old acquaintances in the polling station while performing your careful tasks.

The situation in Jüterbog reflects the challenges with which many cities in Germany are faced. While the voters are eagerly awaiting the result of the new counting, it remains to be seen whether Tilman Weber can take the chance to implement his electoral slogan "Bock on Jüterbog" into reality.

This has shown that every voice counts - especially in such small municipalities with around 13,000 inhabitants like Jüterbog. With the upcoming decision on Tuesday, the fate of the next mayor could turn again. Citizens are called to continue to commit themselves and to take part in the political debate.
