    Supplementary notice regarding the election notice

    Contrary to the original election notice, there will be no by-election for the Advisory Board on Women’s Issues this year, as the term of office is three years in accordance with Article 39(3), sentence 3 of the Constitution.

    Following the last election in 2024, the next by-election for the Advisory Board on Women’s Issues will therefore take place in 2027. All other by-elections will take place as announced between 9 and 11 June 2026.

    Veröffentlichung der Wahlvorschläge erst am 22. Mai

    Aufgrund einer noch zu klärenden Frage können die zugelassenen Wahlvorschläge erst am kommenden Freitag, 22. Mai 2026, veröffentlicht werden.
