Updates on Voting for the Integration Council in 2025
The Integration Council election will take place on Sunday, September 14, 2025, concurrently with local elections. For more information about this election, please visit www.ourwebsite.de/other-elections.aspx.
All eligible voters have received a yellow voting notification, which indicates the polling station for election day. On this day, voters can cast their votes at the designated station.
The term of the Integration Council is for 5 years, which corresponds to the term of the Bergisch Gladbach City Council. This council plays a crucial role in promoting integration and fostering a harmonious community.
The candidates in the Integrationsratswahl vary by city. For instance, in Aachen, there are five party lists and one individual candidate: MIT-Aachen, ADZ – Aachener Demokratische Zusammenarbeit, Barrierefrei, Brückenbauen, Inklusion und Vielfalt, Hevî – Hoffnung für Alle, Einzelbewerber Ahmet Tarak, and WIR für Chancengerechtigkeit und Integration. In Beckum, the candidates are individual applicants such as Inneke Dreier, Mehmet Selim Bilgiç, Sabrina Stroppiana, Thaer Ramzi, Zeki Gül, Ihsan Alkan, and Muhammet Çanakçi with their respective deputies. In Gelsenkirchen, candidates present their topics at information events before the election.
Voters who wished to vote by postal ballot were required to apply online by September 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The link to apply for a postal vote (oliwa.kommunale.it/IWS/startini.do?mb=5378004) is no longer relevant as the application deadline has passed.
No further action is required for postal voting as the application deadline has passed. Voters are reminded to carefully review their yellow voting notification and cast their votes on election day at the designated polling station.
The Integration Council election is an important opportunity for the community to voice their opinions and shape the future of integration in their city. Make sure your voice is heard by exercising your right to vote on September 14, 2025.
