Due to this coincidence, in many polling stations, citizens went to cast their votes dressed in colorful costumes and traditional carnival masks, because after voting they went to participate in various carnival activities.
Festive atmosphere in the electoral process
In cities like Cologne, Düsseldorf, or Mainz, where carnivals are an important part of local culture, voters went to the polling stations dressed as clowns, medieval knights, or fantasy characters, bringing a festive atmosphere to the electoral process.
Some polling stations were decorated with festive carnival colors, and even observers and election administration employees often wore carnival decorations and accessories.
But despite the festive atmosphere, the voting process took place in an orderly and smooth manner. German authorities stressed the importance of participation in the elections, underlining that carnival celebrations and democracy can coexist, making voting day have a special spirit this year./ DW
