News Article: Bergisch Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) Plenary Assembly Elections Scheduled for January 18 - February 14
The Bergisch Region is set to elect its parliament, the plenary assembly of the Bergish Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), from January 18 to February 14. This election is unique as it is not open to all federal citizens; only Bergish businesses can vote.
Over 40,000 eligible companies will receive voting materials, each of which will have one vote, regardless of the company's size. The voting period will span from January 18 to February 14, and online voting is possible.
The IHK parliament aims to robustly represent the interests of the regional economy towards politics and administration. The plenary assembly is the most important body of the IHK, with decisions made in this assembly affecting the IHK's work and the development of the economic region.
The plenary assembly decides on the IHK's budget, including the level of membership fees, and elects the IHK president and the seven other members of the IHK presidency. The IHK hopes for a high voter turnout in the IHK parliament election.
Interested parties can view all candidates and learn more about the IHK election from today onwards at a specific website. As of now, there are a total of 141 candidates running for the 80 seats in the "Parliament of the Economy".
In early January, a printed candidate presentation will be published in a special edition of the IHK magazine Bergische Wirtschaft. To find the candidates and their platforms for the 2022 Bergisch IHK plenary assembly election, I recommend visiting the official IHK Bergisch website, checking any election brochures or communications sent to members of the IHK, or contacting the IHK Bergisch Chamber directly via email or phone for detailed candidate information.
The election of the IHK parliament is happening earlier than the federal citizens' vote, which is on February 23. The Bergisch Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) plenary assembly election is an essential event for the regional economy, and it is crucial for businesses to exercise their right to vote and participate in shaping the future of the region.
The Bergish Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) election is significant for the finance and business sector in the region, as it will determine the representatives who will work towards advocating for the regional economy's interests. Over 40,000 eligible companies, each with one vote, will decide the composition of the IHK parliament, influencing the IHK's budget, membership fees, and the election of the IHK president and presidency members.
