Lahnstein seeks volunteers for Rhineland-Palatinate state election
Lahnstein is looking for volunteers to work at polling stations for the Rhineland-Palatinate state election on March 22. No prior experience is needed—only the right to vote in Germany. The city is encouraging residents to sign up and help ensure the election runs smoothly.
The role of a poll worker includes assisting voters, managing ballot procedures, and counting votes. To support their efforts, the city provides a €35 refreshment allowance for each volunteer. Training sessions are also available to prepare participants for their duties.
Volunteers do not need previous election experience, but they must be eligible to vote. Those interested can apply directly through the city's website at www.lahnstein.de/wahlhelfer. Once registered, poll workers are automatically covered by statutory accident insurance for the duration of their service. The city has not released figures on how many election workers were deployed in past state elections. However, officials are actively recruiting to fill necessary positions for the upcoming vote.
The March 22 election relies on volunteers to keep polling stations running efficiently. Residents who meet the voting eligibility criteria can contribute by signing up online. The city ensures support through training, financial compensation, and insurance coverage for all participants.
