Collection: Democracy begins with us

Use your right to vote! Voting is the key part of a democracy and is a key tool to show which issues are important to you. If you do not yet know who to vote for, we recommend using the Wahl-O-Mat from the Federal Agency for Civic Education to get an overview. Using the Wahl-O-Mat, you can compare your opinions with the official positions of the parties. You can also get more information and talk to candidates directly at the parties or their information stands, e.g. on Saturdays during the weekly market in Reutlingen.

You can find more information about the election procedure, for example, on the state election website.

Our topic shelf this month explores the importance of politics and democracy - in ensuring that everyone is reprosented and ensuring that important things are decided.
