Migrants' Council - Page 2

For the first time ever, all foreigners and naturalized Germans residing in Leipzig for at least 3 months will be able to vote in the Leipzig Migrants' Council selection process. The council has an advisory role to Stadt Leipzig on matters concerning the city's international community. If you're eligible to vote, you should receive a letter with instructions latest by March 21st (otherwise, contact Stadt Leipzig's Referat für Migration und Integration). The voting will be open from 8 a.m. on March 22nd to 8 a.m. on March 29th, 2021, and applies to candidates split up into 8 geographic regions (here's a list of all the candidates by region). The person with the most votes from each region will be selected to represent that region. The Leipzig City Council then appoints the next two with the most votes for the remaining positions, for a total of 10 representatives.
