Translation
From what age can you vote in municipal elections in Saarland?
- A 14
- B 16
- C 18 ✓ Correct answer
- D 20
Explanation
In Saarland the voting age for municipal elections is 18. Attempts to introduce voting from 16 did not get the required constitutional majority in the Saarland parliament, so the rule is still 18.
Tips
- Saarland = 18 for local elections.
- Politicians talked about "16" but it was NOT adopted.
- 14 and 20 are unrealistic options.
- Watch out: many learners assume 16 because they heard about other Bundesländer or the EU election.
