State election in MV: What you should know about the election in the northeast
More than 1.3 million people in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern will be able to decide who will govern the state in the future. Who is allowed to vote, how the election works and why it's particularly exciting this time.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is set to hold a state election on Sunday, with around 1.3 million eligible voters. The election is significant as it may see a far-right party, AfD, emerge as the strongest force. The current ruling coalition, led by SPD's Manuela Schwesig, is expected to lose its majority, with a possible close contest between SPD and AfD. A coalition between SPD, Linke, and Grüne is considered a likely outcome, but other scenarios, including a minority government or a partnership with AfD, are also possible.
