The German Data Forum (RatSWD) is an independent body of empirically working scientists and representatives of the most important public institutions for data collection in Germany. With its expertise, it advises policy-makers on the expansion of the data infrastructure.

The electoral register for the 2026 RatSWD election is open until 16 February 2026. To promote the election, RatSWD published posts on LinkedIn, Bluesky und Mastodon. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share these posts within your networks to reach as many eligible voters as possible.
