Youngsters in Düsseldorf have already cast their votes in the U18 election
In the recent Düsseldorf local elections, the youth vote has played a significant role, with over 200 young people participating across 13 polling stations. The Düsseldorf Youth Ring managed and supervised these stations, providing an opportunity for minors to have their voices heard.
In Düsseldorf South (Düsseldorf II), the CDU secured 11.01% of the votes, followed closely by the AfD with 9.17%. However, in the first round of voting for the U18 election, Johannes Winkel (CDU) was not the winner. Instead, Adis Selimi of the SPD took the lead with 29.36%, while Lisa Schubert (Left) came in second with 19.27%. Interestingly, Sara Nanni (Greens) and Johannes Winkel received the same percentage of first votes in Düsseldorf South.
The Left and the SPD are neck and neck in Düsseldorf South, with Lisa Schubert and Julia Marmulla (Left) receiving 17.43% and 16.51% of the first votes respectively. The Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance also made a presence, securing 15.6% of the votes in Düsseldorf South.
Meanwhile, in Düsseldorf North (Düsseldorf I), the Greens lead with 33.05% of the second votes in the youth election. Anas Al-Qura'an won the first vote in Düsseldorf North with 38.98%. Thomas Jarzombek (CDU) received 11.02% of the first votes, while Dr. Zanda Martens (SPD) secured 16.1%, and Julia Marmulla (Left) received 18.64%. The Left is in second place in Düsseldorf North, followed by the SPD, CDU, FDP, and the Animal Protection Party.
For those interested in the detailed results of the U18 election, graphs of the second vote results in the North and South can be found on Wahlen.U18l.org.
It's worth noting that in Germany's federal election campaign for the Bundestag on February 23, minors have been allowed to vote since 1996, nine days before the adult election. Local initiatives, youth groups, associations, clubs, schools, and other facilities have independently organized polling stations for minors.
However, the political party most supported by the U18 vote in the Düsseldorf local elections in September 2023 was not mentioned in the provided search results. This underscores the importance of continued engagement and transparency in youth political participation.
The results of these elections serve as a valuable insight into the political leanings of the younger generation in Düsseldorf and will undoubtedly influence future political discourse.
