Citizens of the German state of Bavaria are heading to the polls today to vote for their local representatives and mayors.
In total, locals will be casting several separate ballots – for members of district and municipal councils, for mayors and Lord Mayors and for district administrators. All of them are elected to serve out 6-year terms, that are scheduled to run out in 2026. A total of more than 39,500 mandates will be allocated during the election.
