Local elections 2026
On 15 March 2026, general local elections will be held in Hesse, as well as elections to the Foreigners' Advisory Council in Rodgau.
Parties and voter groups can already start drawing up their election proposals now. In order to ensure that the nominations submitted are also authorised, it is particularly important to observe the legal requirements.
The receipt of the complete election proposal by the election officer of the City of Rodgau with all required attachments must have taken place by 05.01.2026, 18:00 at the latest. As this is a cut-off deadline, earlier submission is recommended in good time so that any deficiencies can still be rectified.
The necessary forms can be downloaded from the website of the State Returning Officer:
The external service provider for cities and municipalities, ekom21, has made a database available free of charge for the organisation of election proposals. Here, the personal details of candidates can be maintained and transferred directly to the necessary forms. This tool is an enormous relief for parties and voter groups, as all the necessary documents and meeting transcripts are already stored here. Finally, a csv file can be created as an election proposal, which should be made available to the election office of the city of Rodgau for transferring the data. However, this does not replace the submission of election proposals in paper form and must be adhered to.
Registration for this software is possible via

General information on the local elections has already been published by the state electoral administration and is also regularly updated on the website of the City of Rodgau in the form of public announcements:
