Voter turnout in Saxony-Anhalt far exceeded the figures for the 2021 elections.

Voters in the German eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt are casting ballots in state elections, with voting marked by a significantly higher turnout compared to the previous election in 2021.

Depending on the specific metrics cited within the available data, the voter turnout has surged dramatically, registering increases that range up to twenty percentage points higher than the vote held five years prior.

The elections are taking place under high-stakes political conditions, driven by the possibility that the right-wing populist or ultra-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) could achieve an absolute majority.
