Bröchler announced that there would be more voting booths in the polling stations, more laptops, cell phones and significantly more printed ballots than voters were actually expected for. Ballots will be transported earlier, boxes are better inspected and documented, there are contacts with the fire department in case of emergencies, and they are also prepared for water damage. In many citizens' offices, state employees are already so busy with preparations that normal tasks can no longer be processed, Senator of the Interior Iris Spranger (SPD) said.
