Several reporters, including Marek Walde from ARD and Ingo Bötig from NDR, have addressed the atmosphere and the state of the final campaign phase. The election campaigns of the various parties concluded on Saturday.

The election in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is being closely monitored against the backdrop of a potential rise of the AfD and a possible loss for the CDU under Friedrich Merz, which is under pressure in recent polls.

In Berlin, the Left Party could potentially secure first place. Votes are being counted for both the Berlin House of Representatives and the state elections in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, with tight results expected. Voter turnout is considered crucial.
