Overview

  • Candidate slates are set after the January 8 deadline for the March 8 vote, including nine lists for the 30-seat Stadtrat, where the AfD is not on the ballot.
  • Incumbent Thomas Eichinger (CSU) faces Klaus Ramdohr (AfD), Daniela Groß (Greens) and Markus Wagner (Bayernpartei) for Landrat.
  • Oberbürgermeister Doris Baumgartl (UBV) seeks re-election against Moritz Hartmann (Greens), Ulla Schäfer (FDP), Philipp Schmid (Die Linke) and Monika Hanses (Die Partei).
  • Twelve parties are slated for the 60-seat Kreistag, with Volt required to submit 385 supporting signatures by January 19 to secure ballot access.
  • Postal voting materials may be mailed no earlier than February 16 under new rules, and Bavaria has removed the previous maximum age limit for officeholders.
