Translation
From what age can you vote in municipal elections in Saxony?
- A 14
- B 16
- C 18 ✓ Correct answer
- D 20
Explanation
In Saxony you must be at least 18 years old to vote in municipal (local / kommunal) elections. There are political proposals to lower the voting age to 16, but as of October 2025 they have not become law. So the valid voting age is still 18.
Tips
- Saxony: municipal voting starts at 18.
- "16" is only a proposal, not current law.
- 14 is too low; 20 is not used.
- Remember: Germany lets each Bundesland set its own local voting age, so answers differ by state.
