Citizens are now invited to nominate committed and interested individuals who would like to advocate for the interests of the older generation in Salzgitter.
The Seniorenbeirat represents the interests of older adults in the city and incorporates their concerns, experiences, and perspectives into local political decision-making. It serves as an important link between senior citizens, the city administration, and policymakers. We are therefore looking for people who are interested in actively helping to shape the living conditions of older adults and advocating for their concerns.
Who is eligible for nomination?
Senior Citizens' Advisory Board: Individuals may be nominated if they
- are at least 60 years old,
- are residents of Salzgitter, and
- are eligible to vote in the Salzgitter City Council election.
Any person who meets these requirements is also eligible to nominate candidates.
How does the nomination process work?
According to Section 2 of the Rules of Procedure for Nominations, a nominee must be nominated by at least 30 persons eligible to nominate.
Special rules apply to nominations made by members of senior citizens’ associations or residents of senior care facilities: In these cases, the first 30 members or residents, respectively, each count as one nomination. For every additional 20 members or residents, respectively, one additional nomination may be submitted.
The members of the Seniorenbeirat, as well as a corresponding number of alternate members, are subsequently appointed by the Salzgitter City Council based on the submitted nomination lists.
Senior citizens’ associations are directly requested to nominate individuals. Residents of senior care facilities may submit their nominations through the respective facility operator.
Nominations must be submitted by January 22, 2027, to the City of Salzgitter, Senior Citizens’ Office.
