The 2024 Baden-Württemberg local elections were held on June 9, 2024, to elect members of Baden-Württemberg's 35 district councils and 1101 municipal and local councils. The elections were held on the same day as the 2024 European Parliament election in Germany.
Background All Germans and European Union citizens who have reached the age of 16 and have resided in their municipality for at least three months were eligible to vote.
For the first time, the full address of the candidates was no longer listed in the election announcements and on the ballots. This measure was implemented to protect candidates from harassment.
