Voting rights certificate
In order to allow parties, groups of voters and candidates (so-called "election nominees") to be admitted to an election, certain formal conditions must be met.
After signing the form and fulfilling the conditions, the right to vote is certified free of charge by the competent authority in which the person entitled to vote resides (certificate of voting rights).
The responsibility lies with the municipality, the velvet community and the city.
- The nominations submitted must contain signatures from a certain number of eligible voters (so-called "support signatures").
- The aim is to demonstrate the seriousness of a nomination and thus to ensure that only nominations which can be presumed to have already found a certain following among those entitled to vote are allowed. .
- Excluded from the collection of support signatures are nominations that were successful at the last election.
- Anyone wishing to support a particular nomination by signature must be eligible to vote in the constituency or constituency (depending on the type of election) at the time of signature.
