Election year 2025: How to vote correctly in the Rodenkirchen district!
On September 14, 2025, the time has come: local elections are coming up in North Rhine-Westphalia, and almost 14 million people are called upon to cast their votes. But how can citizens in the Rodenkirchen district vote? Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger provides information about what needs to be taken into account.
Anyone who wants to actively participate in political events must be at least 16 years old and a German citizen or a national of one of the 26 EU countries. Another important point: Those eligible to vote should have lived in the voting area for at least 16 days. This also applies to the approximately 13.7 million people in North Rhine-Westphalia who can contribute their part to the political landscape. But don't worry: If you haven't received your election notification yet, you should contact the responsible election office in good time.
Election notifications and polling stations
The election notifications are sent by post four to six weeks before the election, as rnd.de reports. They contain important information about the assigned polling station and accessibility. To find the right polling station, it is often enough to enter your address on the city's website.
On election Sunday, voters can go to their polling station between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and cast their vote. Important: An identification document is absolutely necessary! Anyone who is unable to attend on election day has the option of voting by post. The application can be submitted to the city online, in writing or in person - this is particularly recommended after receiving the election notification.
The Wahl-O-Mat and other aids
A relatively new tool for voters is theLocal-O-Mat, which has been available since August 20, 2025. This digital tool helps you find out about the positions of the individual parties and clarify your own opinion. It is recommended to explore the platform's handling in advance in order to be well prepared on election Sunday.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, not only mayors and district representatives are on the list for local elections, but also stakeholders from the cities belonging to the district, such as district councils, city councils and mayors. The election is therefore a central event that decides on the composition of political representation in municipalities, cities and districts. Municipalities of North Rhine-Westphalia have made it clear that Union citizens can also take part in this election, which ensures additional diversity and enriches the political spectrum.
A runoff election could take place on September 28, 2025 if no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round. An exciting time for all voters who want to actively shape the fate of their communities!
