Correcting the electoral roll for the European elections

The objection is only possible until the 16th day before the election (= end of the inspection period). It must be submitted in writing or recorded in writing to the municipality of residence. The
municipality decides on the objection up to the 10th day before the election. An appeal against the decision is possible within two days of notification.
The municipality may correct the electoral roll at any time if it is obviously incorrect or incomplete.
The electoral roll is closed no later than the day before the election.
