- Visiting the voting booth, Voigt and his spouse partake in the electoral process.

He was joined by his spouse in Jena. In a public statement, he mentioned his desire to tackle the issue of school shutdowns post-election. Additionally, he hoped that Thuringia wouldn't solely be in the spotlight during elections and during discussions about the right-wing tilt beyond the state boundaries.
Approximately 1.66 million Thuringian citizens are summoned to choose a new state parliament. Given the predictions that the Thuringian AfD, identified as an extremist right-wing organization by the domestic intelligence agency, may emerge as the most influential force in the upcoming parliament, the media attention on the election is significantly magnified.
In the upcoming Thuringian Landtag election, Mario Voigt, representing the CDU, led by being the first notable figure from major parties to vote. Following this Election to the Landtag, Voigt expressed his intent to address the matter of school closures in post-election discourse.
