One of our readers just reminded me that Germans living abroad need to remember to register to vote in the upcoming September 18, 2005 federal election. This means completing an "Antrag auf Eintragung in das Wählerverzeichnes".
All necessary information is available at: http://www.bundeswahlleiter.de/wahlen/wahlrechtausld.htm
The “Antrag” can be downloaded here: http://www.bundeswahlleiter.de/wahlen/download/antragauslandsdaktuell.pdf
The “Merkblatt” is available at: http://www.bundeswahlleiter.de/wahlen/download/merkblattauslandsd2006.pdf
It is critical that those eligible vote in this next election.

nimrod,
It depends on your current residence. If you currently reside in the US, the information above applies to you. If you currently reside in Germany, you want to check with your local authorities on voting via absentee ballot.

thanks...is it just me or did the layout of this site change? looks like an early 90s website right now, no images, just text.

We adjusted things a bit. But it should look similar to before, just a thinner sidebar. If you notice any problems, let us know...
