   Before going to the polling station:

1. Be sure to take your ID with you to the polling station, which can be a police-issued ID card, passport, driver's license, or a similar document with a photo. If you do not have such a document, you can apply for a free temporary ID card for voting at your nearest police station. To apply for one, you will need two passport photos that are no more than six months old.

2. On election day, you can only vote at your own polling station, i.e. the polling station that is marked on the voting rights notice you received. The voting rights notice itself is not needed when voting, but you can take it with you if you wish. If for some reason you have not received the notice, you can inquire about it and/or its information content from the Digital and Population Data Service. You can also inquire about your own polling station by calling the election service number 0800 9 4770. You can also search for your polling station on election day in the polling station service.

3. If you want to find out your candidate's candidate number in advance, you can find it on the Ministry of Justice's information and results service. Candidate numbers can also be seen in the candidates' own election advertisements and in the media.

4. You may bring your own election assistant with you, for example, if you are unable to mark your ballot yourself. However, your election assistant cannot be a person who is a candidate in the election, nor their spouse, child, sibling or parent. If you do not have your own assistant, there will be a special election assistant at the polling station.
