On April 19, 2026, voters in Germany's Rhine/Ruhr region will be the latest to have their say on a possible bid to host the Summer Olympics in either 2036, 2040 or 2044. Around four million voters in the former German industrial heartland are expected to cast their ballots, six months after a similar initiative was successfully put to a vote in Munich.
