Rüsselsheim is looking for 500 election workers for the 2026 local elections! Be there!

An important event is approaching in Rüsselsheim am Main: the local elections will take place on March 15, 2026. The city is calling for around 500 volunteer poll workers. These are needed to ensure that the elections run smoothly. The city council and the local councils are elected, and the elections for the foreigners' council take place at the same time. There is also a new election for the district council in the Groß-Gerau district. journal-lokal.de provides insights and background information on this election.

Election workers can now register online via the city's homepage. The requirements are clearly defined: You must be at least 18 years old on election day, have German citizenship or that of an EU member state and have your main residence in Rüsselsheim at least six weeks before election day. For this support there is an expense allowance of 35 to 50 euros, depending on the respective function on the electoral board.

Volunteering

Commitment is particularly in demand because each electoral board consists of 8 to 9 people who work in shifts. If there are enough staff, the “obligations” for those eligible to vote can be minimized, which should make the election a more pleasant experience for everyone. The trend result is determined on election evening, while city employees take over the vote counting on the following Monday.

The local elections are a central pillar of democracy in Hesse, as entdecke-ruesselsheim.de coolly shows. Here, citizens can actively participate in events and thus influence local events. The preparation and compilation of the lists is already in full swing in the parties and political associations after the summer break. Decisions made in the city council directly affect the daily life of the Rüsselsheim population.

Information and updates

The city ensures that all information about election preparation and results is published in collaboration with Radio Rüsselsheim. This keeps citizens well informed and actively involved in the political shaping of their surroundings.
