✓ Correct Answer
You can choose.
The correct answer is: “You can choose.”. In Germany, all citizens aged 18 and over have the right to vote. Federal elections take place every four years and, according to Article 38 of the Basic Law, are general, direct, free, equal and secret. This question is part of the official naturalization test “Living in Germany” from the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and is a prerequisite for German citizenship.
