Germans look ahead to end of Chancellor Merkel as they prepare to vote but many are still repairing after the nations’ flooding.
The politician of choice was Armin Laschet but he has fallen in the polls with the Christian Democrats Union’s Olaf Scholtz surprising some with his popularity.
After 16 years, some younger citizens have only known one person be leader of Germany, but now change is inevitable.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
