Parties and electoral lists have to be registered with the borough returning office between 3 July 2023 and 2 April 2024.

[1] Similarly to the state- and prior elections, a list proportional system will be used.

Borough elections in Hamburg have a 3% electoral threshold.

The five votes can be amassed all on one person, party, or list (accumulation) or be distributed/split between different candidates, parties, or lists as desired (panachage).

Voting privileges are passively awarded, meaning anyone over the age of 16 meeting eligibility requirements was automatically enrolled.
