Overview

• The city’s Kreisverwaltungsreferat has begun sending voter packets that include a pro‑bid flyer produced by the Referat für Bildung und Sport.
• ÖDP councillor Tobias Ruff and allies have asked the Regierung von Oberbayern to review the mailing and say a lawsuit is under consideration.
• Critics challenge the leaflet’s claim that costs will be refinanced and its reference to private financing without mechanisms, and they dispute promises on new parks and green corridors.
• Officials contend the practice is lawful because the vote was initiated by the city council, which approved the flyer on May 28, allowing it to present its position.
• The October 26 referendum will decide whether Munich pursues a Summer Games bid, and the flyer promotes potential benefits including U‑ and S‑Bahn expansion, an ICE airport link and more green spaces.
