Tartu City Government Press Release
/ This year’s ideas for Tartu’s participatory budget can be explored at the Kaarsild exhibition, where 22 proposals are displayed. Residents of Tartu can choose their favorites during the voting period from October 3 to 9, 2024.
Tartu’s Mayor, Urmas Klaas, invites all citizens to familiarize themselves with the ideas and participate in the vote in October.
