My polling station
- The polling stations are open on election day from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Changing your polling station
You may change your polling station. To do so, you need a polling card (Wahlschein). The polling card is part of the postal voting documents.
With the polling card, you can choose which polling station you wish to attend. However, the polling station must be located in Unterhaching.
Accessible polling stations

Voting at the polling station with a polling card
Even if you have already applied for postal voting documents, you may still cast your vote at a polling station. To do so, you must bring your polling card (which is part of the postal voting documents) as well as an official photo ID.
ID at the polling station
In principle, the law does not require you to present identification at the polling station if you show your election notification.
However, proof of identity is required:
- if you do not have your election notification with you,
- if you have applied for postal voting and wish to vote using your polling card,
- if the election board has doubts about your identity.
Acceptable forms of identification include, for example:
- identity card
- passport
- official ID document
Pens at the polling station
The election office is required to provide a pen in every polling station. There are no legal requirements regarding the type of pen. You may of course use your own pen.
Election observers
During voting and vote counting, election observers may be present and take notes, provided they do not disrupt the process.
The following are not permitted:
- taking photographs
- video or audio recordings
- access to election documents
Election observers must keep an appropriate distance of approximately one to two meters from the election board. If they fail to do so, the election board may ask them to comply.
