The Wiblinger voter community (WWG) is a free voter community in Ulm in the legal form of a registered association. The WWG sees itself as representing the interests of the Wiblingen district and the other southern Ulm districts of Gögglingen-Donaustetten and Unterweiler .
In the 2014 local elections, WWG achieved 6.9% of the votes and entered the Ulm municipal council with three city councilors. In the local elections in 2009, WWG received 7.0% of the vote and moved into the Ulm municipal council with the three city councilors, Helga Malischewski, Erwin Böck and Reinhard Kuntz. She improved her result in the local elections in 2004, where she had achieved 6.5%.
The WWG and other groups of voters form the FWG parliamentary group in the Ulm municipal council.

history
At the end of the 1960s, Wiblingen, with around 7,000 inhabitants at the time, was on the way to becoming one of the largest districts of Ulm. In the municipal council, however, the district was only represented by two councilors. In addition, Wiblingen candidates were placed very far back on the lists of the parties for the municipal council elections in 1968, so that there were fears that the rapidly growing district would not be sufficiently recognized in the town hall and that Wiblingen interests could not be enforced.
On July 12, 1968, the Wiblingen Citizens' Committee set up its own Wiblingen list for the 1968 municipal council elections. That was the hour of birth of the Wiblinger voter community (WWG). In the autumn of 1968, the WWG ran with 18 candidates for the municipal council election and immediately won a mandate from the city council.
From 1971, the WWG city councils joined the FWG parliamentary group in order to have more weight compared to the party-bound local councils.
