Germany calling.

Well. Here we are.

Because the corona pandemic will continue indefinitely, the GroKo (Great Coalition) now wants to protect the next federal elections against the effects of the virus. The plan: an amendment to the electoral law could create new possibilities for candidate lists - and make a pure postal vote possible.

The grand coalition wants to secure the next federal election against possible effects of the corona virus. As reported by the "Rheinische Post" newspaper, citing interior and legal experts from the CDU/CSU and SPD, an amendment to the electoral law is to create the possibility of deciding on the composition of the next Bundestag by postal vote alone.

In Germany you are registered to vote automatically by the residents' registration office.

In order to vote you need to bring your invitation to the vote or your ID (Personalausweis)

When you know you're not at home during the vote, you can apply for a vote via mail.

To make it clear. Voting per mail is only an option. Until now.

They try to soften the rules for voting in Germany now and make mail vote mandatory.

[They] are afraid.
