Voting tallies have been submitted for the 2025 municipal election in Willich.
The local elections in the city of Willich, North Rhine-Westphalia, are scheduled for September 14th, 2025. Here's a guide to help you navigate the process.
Finding Your Polling Station
Each registered voter will receive a voting notification card (Wahlbenachrichtigung) a few weeks before election day. This card includes the address and opening hours of the assigned polling station. If you lose your card, you can contact the local electoral office or check the information online on the Willich city or municipal website.
Applying for a Postal Vote (Briefwahl)
Voters who cannot vote in person on election day can apply for a postal vote. The application can usually be made by submitting a form included with the voting notification, applying online if available, or by contacting the local electoral office. The deadline for applying for a postal vote generally falls about a week before election day.
Contacting the Electoral Office
The local electoral office (Wahlbüro or Wahlleiter) is responsible for election administration. Contact information is typically available on the official Willich city website or in the voting notification letter. You can call, write, or visit the office for inquiries about polling stations, postal voting, or any other election-related questions.

Election Help
Election helpers are still being sought, and interested parties can register via the "Elections" page on the city of Willich's website.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information specific to the Willich local election on September 14, 2025, voters should directly consult:
- The official Willich municipal website,
- Their voting notification card once received,
- Or the Willich electoral office.
Since the search results did not provide direct links or contacts related to Willich’s election administration, I recommend visiting Willich’s official government website or contacting their city hall for exact details.
It's also important to note that a telephone application for the postal vote is legally impermissible. The postal vote can also be carried out on-site at the electoral office with the voting notification and personal ID.
Willingly participating in the political process, you can seek election help by registering via the "Elections" page on the city of Willich's website. On September 14th, 2025, you'll be voting for the Mayor, County Commissioner, representatives for the county council, and city council, and changes in leadership will be determined willingly and democratically.
