The choice and its meaning

Local elections are of considerable importance in Germany because they give citizens the opportunity to elect their representatives at the local level. According to Article 28 of the Basic Law, these elections are general, direct, free, equal and secret. In local elections, such as those that took place in Bruchköbel, citizens have the chance to elect mayors and local committees, which often brings local issues to the fore. Voters often support smaller parties or citizens' initiatives, an expression of direct interest in local issues. The Federal Agency for Civic Education explains that...

Voter turnout is often lower in local elections than in state or federal elections. This shows how important it is to actively involve citizens in decision-making processes in order to make local politics more lively. Vornwald's agenda therefore starts with the topics of solid finances, citizen participation and strengthening the city center. He strives for open and honest communication in which citizens are not just listeners, but active participants.

After the election, a new phase begins for Vornwald in which he would like to focus on improving the internal processes in the town hall. Discussions with city hall employees about the introduction of fixed citizens' dialogue dates are already on his program. Vornwald plans to continue to act as a bridge between politics and citizens and always promote direct dialogue. “A breath of fresh air with a down-to-earth attitude” – that is his election slogan, which will continue to be in focus after the election. It will be exciting to see how these fresh ideas are implemented in Bruchköbel!
