The 2024 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern local elections were held on 7 June 2024 to elect the members of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's 8 district councils and 726 municipal councils as well as the voluntary mayors (ehrenamtliche Bürgermeister) of 650 municipalities. The elections were held on the same day as the 2024 European Parliament election in Germany.
In accordance with the state Local Election Law (Kommunalwahlgesetz), the government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern set the election date to be on 7 June 2024, the same date as the European Parliament election in Germany. Runoff elections for mayors were, in accordance with the law, set to be held on 23 June 2024 if necessary.
A new mayor was not elected in municipalities that have a full-time mayor (hauptamtlicher Bürgermeister), due to their position having different term limits varying from seven to nine years. New mayors or municipal councils were also not elected if they entered office within the last 12 months (due to a snap election) or if less than one candidate existed, in which case the election was postponed.
Each voter had three votes that could be amassed all on one candidate, party, or list (accumulation) or could be distributed/split between different candidates, parties, or lists as desired (panachage).
The cumulative result of the district council elections:
The runoff election for the mayor of Wilhelmsburg on 23 June 2024 was won by Peter Volker Weimer, who ran for the Alternative for Germany (AfD), making him the first AfD mayor in all of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
