> Saxony-Anhalt votes in a state election on Sunday, with more than a dozen rallies planned beforehand. Civil society groups will hold a democracy festival in Magdeburg, while the far-right Alternative for Germany is set to stage its final campaign rally and could become the first far-right party since World War II to win the most votes in a German state and theoretically take power.
