The projected beginning of service for the newly elected city council is directly following the polls. Nevertheless, the formal ceremony where the city councilors take their oath does not occur until the election confirmation is completed. Ulm hopes for the 22nd of July as the date for this event, which is commonly referred to as Schwörmontag. Consequently, the anticipated Ulm city council is due to be sworn in on this day.
