Explanation

In federal and state elections in Germany, absentee voting (Briefwahl) is an important option that ensures participation for those who cannot be present at polling stations on election day. This promotes civic engagement and allows citizens to cast their votes regardless of personal circumstances. Absentee voting reflects the constitutional right to free and fair elections, which is enshrined in the Basic Law.
