Polls open in high-stakes German election

Polling stations opened Sunday for pivotal German elections, with the conservatives the strong favorites after a campaign rocked by a far-right surge and the return of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Voting began at 8:00 am (0700 GMT), with more than 59 million Germans eligible to cast ballots. The first estimates are based on exit polls expected after polls close at 6:00 pm (1700 GMT).
