The youth parliament of the city of Salzgitter consists of 25 youth parliamentarians and three assessors. These are 12 and 13-year-olds who support and accompany the work of the youth parliamentarians.

Six applications were received for this role by the application deadline. For this reason, there will be an election this year for these three seats.

The management of the Youth Parliament has decided that there will be a digital postal vote for the upcoming election. This means that this year's election is not only the first election for the Youth Parliament since 2014, but it is also the first digital election for the Youth Parliament.

Important: The election notifications were sent out on Tuesday, March 31. Eligible voters can cast their votes digitally until the end of the election on Friday, April 10, at 6 p.m., as soon as they have received their election notification.

What does digital postal voting mean?

There is a link and a unique personal password in the election notification. Voters can use this data to cast their vote and elect an assessor.

On Friday, April 10, the election portal will automatically close for voting at 6 pm. From then on, eligible voters and the election management will be able to view the election results online using their access data.

The election results will be published later, together with the names of the 25 youth parliamentarians and the date of the constituent meeting of the 7th Youth Parliament.
