Service Description
The Schleswig-Holstein state parliament has set up a petitions committee to deal with petitions (requests and complaints from citizens).
Are you in trouble with a public authority in Schleswig-Holstein, or is something going wrong in your dealings with a government agency? Would you like to draw attention to an issue that should be given more attention by the state parliament? Then write to the Petitions Committee of the Schleswig-Holstein State Parliament.
Whether it is a complaint or a suggestion - your petition will be taken seriously. The committee carefully examines every request, obtains statements from the relevant authorities and clarifies the facts.
If it turns out that your petition is justified, the committee recommends changing decisions or implementing proposals. You will always receive a written response.
Your petition can make a difference: it can help to uncover grievances, improve the law and bring the administration closer to the people. Above all, petitions strengthen the exchange between you - the people of Schleswig-Holstein - and politicians.
