Tomorrow, on the 12th February 2017, the new German president gets elected.
It isn't a direct vote by the people, but one should maybe mention it nevertheless.

The president gets elected by the federal assembly, that consists of 1260 members. 630 of them are the recent MPs, the other 630 are partly members of the state parliaments and partly "chosen ones" by the parties.

Since the recent president, Joachim Gauck, didn't want to get elected anymore, these are the candidates of this election:

Candidate	Occupation	Supporting Party/Parties
Frank-Walter Steinmeier (61)	Former Minister of Foreign Affairs	SPD, CDU/CSU, FDP, Grüne
Christoph Butterwegge (66)	Poverty researcher	Die Linke
Albrecht Glaser (75)	Politician	AfD
Alexander Hold (54)	Judge, Politician, TV-Star	Freie Wähler
Engelbert Sonneborn (78)	retired person, father of Martin Sonneborn, an EU-MP of the satirist party "Die Partei"	Piraten, Die Partei

The winner gets chosen by an absolute majority. It's most likely/sure, that Steinmeier will win, since he got the most parties supporting him, including the parties in power right now.
The term of the next president starts at the 18th March 2017 and he will live in "Schloss Bellevue" (Bellevue Castle) in Berlin.
