I know this is a kinda dumb poll because of different reasons but im just curious.
Poll: Did you / Are you going to vote?Yes (97) 92% No. Don't want to. (5) 5% No. Not able to do and forgot about postal voting. (2) 2% I'm too young. (2) 2% 106 total votes Your vote: Did you / Are you going to vote? (Vote): Yes
(Vote): No. Don't want to.
(Vote): No. Not able to do and forgot about postal voting.
(Vote): I'm too young.

This election I am surprisingly relaxed. No idea why, it just doesnt feel like "omg the world is going to end if my party doesnt win".
I have a small wishlist for the results:
- AfD not getting over 5%
- SPD participating in the government (dont care about the koalition)
That's it. Wish you all a happy election-sunday.

just had breakfast and I'm about to head out and vote in a couple of minutes. Make sure you get your ass up and move as well

but wouldnt it be useful for you if the AfD is getting in?
less likeable for CDU/FDP to get majority

Get the pirates in! AfD is far too close to the right according to different sources. I'd rather live with Merkel than with those *****.
The pirates on the other hand have a lot of interesting positions and I would love to see how they evolve in the Bundestag. Might be a disaster, but could turn out great if they just get the time. Sadly I heard alot that people want to vote for them but they aren't going to because the vote will be lost under 5%.

You are right. But I really dont want to see them in parliament. The seem harmless in the beginning but when you have a closer look many of them are real nazis. I was at an event with some of their kandidates in my home region, they were speaking about "parasites from other countries" and "beeing truly german".

lol.
might be that some from NPD are switching to AfD (for this election) because they see no point in voting NPD due to 5% mark. but in general i believe that there are much less from the extreme right side than exspected.

So, just voted AfD. Time to shake things up a little bit.

Fucking tragedy.
How can you not go voting T_T So stupid. I just came back from voting. There was NO ONE else in the building. I didnt see anyone leave while I was coming and nobody entered while I was leaving. And the place was for two districts!
So where I voted (at around 12 a,m.), I thought there were quite a lot of people voting. But that's just my subjective experience. While noone had to wait, there was a decent number of people coming and going into the building. Every single person I talked about it in the last weeks said they would go voting.
With around 25% overall postal voting expected, I think the total voter turnout will be (slighty) higher than the last elections.

if you want to take the Bavarian elections as an indicator:
2013 - 2008
Wahlbeteiligung: 63,9 - 57,9

You just want to watch the world burn. Be honest. Reintroducing the mark, stopping many obligations we have with the EU. No one can tell where that will lead.
I voted pirates. My vote will make roughly 0.00...001% anyway, but I just wish we finally get some proper internet laws.

the voting last week (bavarian election) got 64% which is pretty damn high for a "landtagswahl".
i dont see why we shouldnt get a high percentage today aswell
edit. slow post for the win

of course some opinions from AfD are unrealistic but "die linke" also has some points where everyone knows this wont happen.

the opponents of the afd like to claim that they would be right
that is common fashion in germany, the words "right" and "nazi" are thrown around all the time, i am tired of that. especially for the left-party (die linke) - whoever does not share their opinion is automatically a nazi (thats exaggerated of course but i think you get what i meant)

"reintroducing the mark"
sorry but this is plain wrong. it is a shame that many people are so uninformed. the afd sees this as the worst case scenario. they do want to keep the EURO, just not the way it is now.

A great historian once wrote that the left would rather be dull than vulgar, the right would rather be vulgar than dull. And there we have things in their true distinctions!
The German proscription of anything which smacks of being "right-wing" is the effective banishment of the human personality from politics, the fundamental dulness of Mr. Gysi not excepted. Helmuth Kohl was the most bouffant thing the collective temper of the nation could take. As for his treacherous protoge Ms. Merkel, the people appreciate her because of how skillfully she evades the mud. And modern Germany has an unhealthy fancy for presenting herself to the world as both clean and washed.

can somebody tell me when the first results are available?
the big unknown factor is the afd:

It's always 18:00 when the first prognosis (Hochrechnung) will happen. ARD, ZDF and Phoenix have pretty long and informative election shows.

Oh yea instead of going back to the old currency that only germany uses, they want to kick out everyother country from the euro, so that only germany got the Euro, that such a difference

...or maybe we have a history with the right wing in which we learnt that its totalitarian demeanor and national egoism leads only to destruction and damages a society.
