Quick explanation
In Saarland you can vote in local elections from the age of 18.
Why is this correct?
The voting age is set by the law of Saarland and is 18.
Background
In Saarland, you can vote in local elections from the age of 18 – just as in the federal election. In many other federal states, however, the voting age for local elections is already 16. Local elections choose, for example, the municipal council, the district council and often the mayor. Citizens of other EU countries who live there may also vote.
Why are the other answers wrong?
14, 16, 20 are wrong for Saarland. The voting age differs from state to state – remember the number for your state.
Memory tip
Saarland: vote from 18.
