Munich publishes approved candidate lists for Migration Advisory Council election

The electoral office at Munich's District Administration Department (KVR) has published the approved nominations for the Migration Advisory Council election, which takes place in Munich on Sunday 22 November. In total, 28 nominations have been approved.

The official notices for all 28 approved nominations, including details of every candidate, are available online at www.muenchen.de/migrationsbeiratswahl. The election committee declared two further nominations invalid because the required number of supporting signatures was not submitted in time.

All Munich residents without a German passport may vote if they are at least 18 years old and, on election day, have been registered in Munich with their main residence, or have otherwise ordinarily lived in the city, for at least six months, meaning since 22 May 2026. They must also not be excluded from voting.

German citizens may also vote if they meet the same conditions and have either held a German passport for no more than 12 years or also hold another nationality. To do so, they must apply to the electoral office to be added to the electoral register.

The electoral office runs a hotline for questions about the election on 089/233-96233. It is available Monday to Thursday from 8am to 12pm and from 1pm to 3pm, and on Fridays from 8am to 12pm.
