Weilheim Says Ballot Errors Fixed as Sunday Runoffs Proceed

A faulty print file triggered the duplicate mailings, city staff say.

Overview

  • Deputy election chief Andreas Bayerlein says all missing postal voting packets have been delivered and previously duplicated documents have been voided.
  • Numbered voting certificates will block any attempt to vote twice, and affected voters received replacement materials with an official notice.
  • Several dozen residents who received incomplete packets were supplied directly at home by city employees and utility staff, according to officials.
  • The county election director reiterates that any legal review comes after the vote, with no option to postpone the runoffs and potential invalidation only if rule breaches affected the result.
  • Voters are urged to drop completed postal ballots in Rathaus mailboxes by 6 p.m. on Sunday, with most municipalities setting final application deadlines on Friday and warning of postal delivery delays; similar guidance is being issued in Kulmbach, Bad Tölz‑Wolfratshausen, Eschwege and Waldkappel.
