Voters in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt are heading to the polls in a closely watched election where the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is eyeing a historic state win.
If successful, the outcome could see the AfD become the first far-right party to take power at a state level in Germany since World War II.
Although the eastern state accounts for less than 3% of the nationwide electorate, the election result is viewed as an important bellwether for the party's political prospects across the rest of the country.
