Campaign Urges Tactical Voting to Counter AfD Majority in Saxony-Anhalt
The initiative ‘Tactical Voting 2026’ aims to prevent the Alternative for Germany (AfD) from achieving an absolute majority in the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament through strategic voting recommendations.
The campaign provides an online tool that allows voters to input their postal codes and receive tailored advice on how to effectively use their first and second votes to support parties at risk of failing to meet the five-percent threshold, such as the SPD and the Greens. Luise Band, a spokesperson for the initiative, emphasized the urgency of mobilizing democratic votes to counter the AfD, which currently leads in polls with 41 percent support. The state elections are scheduled for September 6, and campaign activities will include door-to-door outreach and social media engagement.
