In the case of a Bundestag or European election, if you move to Hamburg from a German municipality, you will automatically be accepted into your new Hamburg polling station up to the 42nd day before the election and you will receive a voting notification at your new address. After the 42nd day you can have your booking changed at your new Hamburg polling station up to the 21st day before the election - you can apply for a change in your booking at your polling station. A rebooking is no longer possible after the 21st day. You are then still entitled to vote in your old polling station in your last municipality of residence. If you are unable to vote on site, you can use the postal vote option. If you have any questions, please contact your electoral office.

Important notes
