Saxony-Anhalt state election: aging, poor ex-GDR region votes Sunday

Saxony-Anhalt holds its Landtag election Sunday with 1.7M voters. The region is Germany's oldest (avg age 48+) and second-poorest, with unemployment at 8.1% vs 6.4% national. Demographic decline and youth exodus worsen labor shortages in the chemical-driven economy. Outcome could signal political shifts ahead of federal dynamics.
