In Germany, elections are increasingly being contested due to alleged electoral errors. This is particularly likely to increase in the super election year 2024 with one European election, three state elections and eight local elections.

Volunteer electoral assistants must also be well prepared for their task in good time. He also provides information on election challenges and their consequences in the following contribution.
