Representative electoral statistics serve the need for information in many areas of our society. They provide information on the voting behavior of different population groups, namely on voter turnout and voting by age, gender and federal state.
For the representative electoral statistics, polling districts and postal voting districts are selected using a mathematical random sample. This time, three polling stations in Wolfsburg are also included in the representative election statistics. These are the Velstove, Hohenstein and Fallersleben polling stations. It goes without saying that the secrecy of the ballot will also be maintained in the representative election statistics.
