Nominations for the 2024 local elections in Mainz
Section 15 of the Rhineland-Palatinate Local Elections Act states in paragraph 4: Women and men should be equally represented in representative bodies (gender parity). When nominating candidates, the parties and electoral groups are required to strive for gender parity...
The goal is therefore to increase the number of women in local politics in Rhineland-Palatinate, as there is still no sign of equal representation of women in city, municipal, association, district, or local councils.
A new brochure published by the Women's Office shows how many women and non-women have been nominated by the ten parties and electoral alliances running in the 2024 local elections in Mainz.
