Baden-Württemberg: Mayoral election in Birenbach is postponed again

Birenbach (dpa/lsw) - The search for a new mayor for Birenbach seems to be stuck in the worm: Due to a formal error, the mayoral election has to be postponed again.

According to the district office in Göppingen on Thursday, this was due to staff shortages during the holiday period and could have meant that the vote planned for September 25th could have been contested. It was not immediately clear what exactly happened. A new election date has not yet been set.

It's not the first postponement: An earlier date would have been during the holiday season, so not everyone might have been able to follow the election campaign and take part in the election. The tender was then withdrawn. The post of mayor in the 1945-inhabitant community has been vacant for months.
