Aachen City continues its search for potential applicants
The city of Aachen is gearing up for its municipal elections on September 14, 2025, with a potential runoff on September 28, 2025, and they are in need of more election helpers. As of current information, around 500 more helpers are required to ensure a smooth election process.
If you are interested in becoming an election helper, you can register via the city's service portal on the website [ourwebsite.de/wahlhilfe]. The online application form allows you to specify your preferred deployment in the postal or polling station, and your preferred role in the election board.
Typical requirements for election helpers in German municipalities, including Aachen, include being at least 18 years old, being a resident of the municipality or registered in the electoral roll, having no conflicting roles (not candidates themselves or close relatives of candidates), being reliable, neutral, and able to follow instructions.
The responsibilities of election helpers generally involve assisting at the polling station on election day(s), checking voter identities and eligibility, issuing ballot papers and explaining voting procedures, ensuring the secrecy and order of the election process, counting ballots after the polls close, and reporting results. Election helpers typically receive training beforehand and are compensated for their service.
Polling station election helper teams meet at 7:30 AM on election Sunday at their allocated polling station. Meanwhile, the postal voting helper team meets at 1 PM. After 6 PM, election helpers count the ballot papers and determine the election result in a team. Breaks are planned for election helpers, and they receive a "refreshment allowance" of 50 € to 60 €, depending on their function.
Registration is available to all persons aged 16 and above with a German ID card or European eID card in the city of Aachen's service portal, after authentication through the bundID with name and password. Those who prefer to apply by email can do so at [email protected].

They publish detailed instructions and application forms for election helpers well in advance.
