Election fever in Jüterbog: Who will be the next mayor?

Jüterbog, Deutschland - in Jüterbog burns the air! On Sunday, June 29, 2025, the highly expected mayoral elections will take place in the city. With 10,525 people entitled to vote, including the 16- and 17-year-olds, who have recently been able to take part in local elections, the signs are on election fever. The polling stations are open on this day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and it is coordinated in a total of 20 polling stations in the urban area and the districts, such as Maz-online.de reported.

Four candidates argue for the office of mayor.

postal voting and election organization

These documents can be handed over by post and directly in the town hall by 6 p.m. by 6 p.m. If you want to participate in the election, you need a valid election notification as well as a ID card or passport.

154 volunteer election workers ensure that the election is carried out, which ensure that everything is going smoothly around the voting. After the polling stations are closed, the counting of the votes is tackled. So nothing stands in the way of a transparent election result.

The electoral system

If you take part in the elections, you should also know the regulations of the electoral system. According to the Brandenburg electoral law a distinction is made between majority and personality choice, and the elections take place every five years. The election period and the number of representatives in the city council depend on the population. For Jüterbog this means a basic voice for the citizens!

The choice is considered failed if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, which would result in a runoff election on July 20. This also has to combine a simple majority and at least 15% of the overall voters to secure the office.

But one thing is certain: the citizen participation and the possibility of voting are essential for a lively democracy. Especially when the choice is at the door, it means: every voice counts!
