New seniors' advisory board in Groß-Gerau: Election is coming!
In Groß-Gerau, the city administration has presented the draft statutes for the senior citizens' advisory board. This was now handed over to the magistrate for examination. A crucial step towards restoring a body that will represent the voice of the older generation in the city. As early as September 2, 2025, the city council asked the magistrate to elect a new senior citizens' advisory board. But before that happens, the statutes must be decided by the city council Echo Online reported.
There is now little time left for the election of the seniors' advisory board, which is scheduled to take place on March 15th. The city council has not yet published a clear date as to when it will deal with the new statutes. It is clear that the advisory board does not have to be established, but there is widespread consensus about its necessity and its restoration.
Eligibility and implementation
However, those who are eligible to vote and can take part in this important election are all older citizens who have reached the age of 60 on election day. This applies regardless of nationality. Just like the seniors' advisory board in Wiesbaden, which consists of 21 directly elected members, seniors in Groß-Gerau also have the opportunity to actively represent their interests. The whole thing is carried out in a very simple manner as a postal vote, so that all those eligible to vote can have their documents conveniently sent to their home and simply send the votes back Wiesbaden.de highlights.
This initiative shows that urban politics is increasingly addressing the concerns of the older generation. A senior citizens' advisory board could make a significant contribution to ensuring that their interests are better heard in the city council, the magistrate and the administration. The coming months will be exciting because it remains to be seen how quickly the city council can approve the statutes. This much is certain: For many seniors in Groß-Gerau, there is something wrong and they want a strong voice in city politics.
