- Baden-Württemberg state election, 2011 (voted SPD)
- Baden-Württemberg state referendum on Stuttgart 21 (huge and controversial railway project) (voted in favor)
- German federal election, 2013 (voted SPD)
- SPD referendum for party members over coalition agreement with CDU/CSU (voted in favor)
- Local elections (city and county council), 2014 (voted only for SPD candidates)
- European election, 2014 (voted SPD)
- Baden-Württemberg state election, 2016 (voted SPD)
