Second electoral round in Münster: if the Greens succeed in “the sensation”
8.30 am: Shortly before the second round of the elections in Münster, the green candidate received outstanding help: the green president, Robert Habeck, came to town and promoted him. The two have still known each other since times in Schleswig-Holstein, where Habeck was state chairman of the party. At that time there was death cinema for the black-green councilor coalition as councilor for urban planning and the environment. This year, Kiel received the award for the most sustainable city in Germany. This closes a circle, said Habeck and promoted “the sensation”, a green mayor of Münster.
Former member of the CDU of the Bundestag Ruprecht Polenz, who became known through Twitter, announces Mayor Markus Lewe as a “corrective” against the left majority in the Council. If the cinema of death is chosen, otherwise there would be an “uninhibited left-wing green politics” in Münster. The CDU believes the city is “in good hands” with Lewe.
Second electoral round in Münster: date and candidates for mayor
The starting position after the 2020 local elections in Münster
In Münster there are two clear fields before the second round: green-red versus black-yellow. In the first ballot, CDU incumbent Markus Lewe only managed 44.5 percent. His challenger Peter Todeskino reached 28 percent. Now the third force, the SPD, has clearly positioned itself: the Social Democrats recommend choosing the cinemas of death in the second round of the elections because it is synonymous with progressive politics. The FDP, on the other hand, supports Lewe.
Together with the Left, the PARTY, Volt or the ÖPD, Green-Red could form new majorities against the CDU in the city council, before there was a black-green alliance. So it smells of a change of power in the university and cathedral city of Münster. The question now is whether the CDU can re-mobilize sufficiently in the bourgeois camp to help Mayor Lewe win re-election. In city hall, the CDU, at 32.7 percent, has only gotten thinner against the Greens (30.3 percent), the strongest force.

Second round of the elections in Münster: these are the two candidates for OB Markus Lewe and Peter Todeskino
Markus Lewe (CDU): The 55-year-old starter trembles and enters the second round with the slogan “Mit Maß und Mittel”. For the mayor, who has been in office since 2009, it will be crucial that he mobilizes the bourgeois camp. The FDP has already announced that it will support him. The administrator is married with five children.
Peter Todeskino (green): Is the changing mood in the city enough for a green win? Markus Lewe’s 61-year-old challenger can count on the green-red camp in student numbers, but is that enough in the test of strength with the CDU at Catholic Münster? The lawyer is currently Managing Director of Westfälische Bauindustrie GmbH and brings with him a lot of local political experience from Kiel.
When will the second round of the mayoral election take place in Münster?
The deadline for the second round of the OB is September 27, 2020, exactly two weeks after the first vote. Then a second round of the elections will decide who will be the new mayor of Münster. Polling stations will be open again between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.

This is exactly how the runoff in Munich works: date, polling stations, voting notice, mask requirement, and your own pen
Anyone who has not used vote-by-mail and prefers to vote directly at a polling station can cast their vote there on September 27, 2020 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. To do this, simply return to the polling station where you voted at the first round of NRW local elections.
Anyone who has thrown away, misplaced, or lost the election notice in the meantime can vote. All that is required is an identification document, that is, an identity card or passport. As on September 13, 2020, voters must bring their own pen as a measure of protection against the coronavirus. In addition, the use of a mask is mandatory at the voting table. (I like it)
