Postal Vote

In its meeting on 15 April 2021, the electoral board decided according to § 17 (1) electoral code that the upcoming university elections for all members of the department councils, the student members of the Senate and the Equal Opportunities Committee as well as the representative of the interests of student assistants will take place by mail only.

Eligible voters were informed by mail on 21 April 2021 and can apply for a postal vote via a link attached to the mail.

Alternatively, it is also possible to apply for postal voting in writing or by e-mail (justiziariat@h-brs.de) stating an address to which the voting documents shall be sent.

The postal voting documents will then be sent to you.

When do absentee ballots have to be sent?

The ballot paper should be mailed in Germany no later than the third working day before the election (in this case Thursday, 20 May 2021) to ensure that it arrives in time for the 26 May deadline.

Background:
Due to the corona pandemic, it has unfortunately not yet been possible to hold the by-election for the university elections originally scheduled for May 2020, which was announced for 24 and 25 November 2020. The university elections will now take place as a postal only election.
