Voting began at 8:00am local time on Sunday in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt.
The far-right party AfD is clearly ahead in this election. An opportunity to form a state government for the first time may be created for the party.
News agency AFP reported this from Magdeburg, Germany.
More than 17 lakh voters will get the opportunity to cast their votes until 6:00pm local time in the state legislature election. This election is being regarded as a big test for the federal coalition government led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has been steadily losing popularity.
