PoliticsYoung Berliners vote overwhelmingly for socialist Left Party

The Left Party won decisively in Berlin’s state election, helped by strong support from younger voters: about 43% of 16- to 24-year-olds backed it. Lowering the voting age to 16, rising rents and concerns over education cuts helped drive youth engagement. The data also challenges the idea that young people are more likely to support anti-democratic parties.
