Wildpoldsried’s First Volunteer Mayor Race Heats Up for 2026 Term

Wildpoldsried is preparing for a change in leadership as the village moves towards electing a volunteer mayor. The municipal council has already taken steps to adjust local regulations, paving the way for the new role. Two candidates have now come forward to contest the position for the 2026 term.

The municipal council recently approved an amendment to the village bylaw, allowing for the election of a volunteer mayor. This decision marks a shift in how Wildpoldsried will govern itself in the coming years.

The upcoming election will determine who leads Wildpoldsried as its first volunteer mayor. The amended bylaw ensures the process can move forward, with both Graue and Mögele now officially in the running for the live election results. The new mayor will take office in 2026 for a six-year term.
