Overview

  • Duisburg heads to a one‑on‑one between incumbent Sören Link (SPD) and Carsten Groß (AfD), with CDU, Greens, FDP and Junges Duisburg urging their voters to back Link.
  • Duisburg officials confirm no new notifications are issued, the same polling places are used, ID suffices without the card, and postal voting applications run until Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 18:00.
  • Gladbeck’s mayoral runoff pits Bettina Weist (SPD, 41.65% in round one) against Peter Rademacher (CDU, 26.75%), while the Recklinghausen Landrat race continues between Bodo Klimpel (CDU/FDP) and Karsten Schneider (SPD).
  • Oberhausen restricts immediate in‑person voting at city halls for those who already used postal or immediate voting in the main round, offering a written declaration workaround for travelers as new postal packets are mailed.
  • In Kreis Kleve the CDU leads the new Kreistag with 27 seats as AfD gains and Greens lose seats, Kalkar’s election office reviews a one‑vote precinct without ordering a recount, and AfD member Dirk Neumann quits local cooperation and his council mandate.
