First Vote: Navigating Berlin's Election as New Citizens

​Are you a new citizen in Berlin and voting in a Berlin state election for the first time? Or simply curious about how politics and elections work here?

​Join Black in Tech Berlin and Volt for an evening of conversation, questions, and practical insights ahead of the Berlin election.

​We’ll explore:
→ What does the Abgeordnetenhaus actually do?
→ How does voting in Berlin work?
→ What should first-time voters know before heading to the polls?
→ What does it feel like to enter German politics as someone with an international background?
→ And what questions do you have about Berlin’s political future?

​We’ll be joined by Pia Voltz, founder and district councillor in Treptow-Köpenick, and Axumawit Berhe, Co-Bezirks-Lead Berlin Mitte, both running for the Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus with Volt. Together with our founder Kave Bulambo, we’ll have an open and honest conversation about navigating German politics, understanding the voting process, and participating in civic life

​Whether this is your first time voting in Germany or you simply want to better understand how Berlin’s political system works, come curious, ask questions, and make your voice count.
