On Wednesday the first voting card deadline for the Vienna municipal and district representative elections ends: Eligible voters who wish to have a voting card sent to them by mail must still apply for it in writing or online on Wednesday. If you pick up the postal voting documents in person or have them picked up by an authorized person, you still have until 12 noon on Friday. Due to the Corona pandemic, the possibility of postal voting is being used more than ever before.
On Tuesday morning, many more voting cards were already issued than the not quite 204,000 in 2015. 356,000 voters – that is more than 30 percent – have already decided this year not to cast their votes at the polling station. A good proportion of them have already voted. Because in Vienna you can fill out the ballot paper right when you pick it up at the district office or election office, sign the ballot card and hand it in immediately.

Voting cards can also be applied for in writing (by mail, fax, e-mail) or via the Internet by Wednesday or, if you pick them up yourself or have them picked up, by Friday. But by then it will be too late for the “classic” postal vote. Because these votes must also be in the hands of the district election authorities by 5 p.m. on Sunday. But you can also hand in your voting cards directly there or at any polling station, or have them handed in by another person.
