As a voter, you can ask the municipal office and, on election days, the district election commission for serious reasons, especially health reasons, to be able to vote outside the polling station in a portable ballot box. There is no prescribed form for submitting an application, you can do so in writing or orally (e.g. by phone). However, the local electoral commission can only dispatch its members with a portable ballot box within the scope of their electoral district. You can also ask another voter to assist you in voting in the polling station.
