Overview

• An older man collapsed and died inside a polling place set up in a senior home in Krefeld-Uerdingen on Sunday.
• Resuscitation was initiated by a person on site, but the man could not be saved, according to local reporting.
• The city said the deceased had prior medical conditions and was not a resident of the senior facility.
• Emergency chaplains cared for the man’s wife, and the city offered psychological support to the election board.
• The local board kept the station open, as separate election-day issues were reported elsewhere in NRW, including missing ballots in Bielefeld-Ubbedissen and a Dortmund site that opened after police addressed a tampered door lock.
