On September 20, 2026, a new House of Representatives will be elected in Berlin. At the same time, the district assemblies of Berlin’s twelve districts will also be elected. The electoral term is always five years. Voters therefore decide which parties and politicians will serve in these bodies over the next five years. These elections determine who makes political decisions in Berlin—both for the entire city and for the individual districts.

All German citizens with permanent residence in Berlin are eligible to vote. For the district assemblies, people with EU citizenship are also allowed to vote. For the first time, 16- and 17-year-olds are also eligible to vote.
