The election itself, scheduled for March 8, 2026, will feature 21 parties, including major names like Grüne, CDU, SPD, AfD, FDP, and Die Linke.
The event will be held on Friday, March 6, at 5 p.m. at the K3 Youth Center in Villingen.

An overview of the 21 participating parties—ranging from established groups like BSW and WerteUnion to the main contenders—will also be provided.
Attendees will have the chance to ask questions and join discussions. Light refreshments will be available throughout the evening. The organisers have stressed that no prior knowledge is needed, and all young voters are welcome.
