Berlin voters are heading into one of the closest state elections in the German capital’s history, with the conservative CDU, left-wing Die Linke, far-right AfD and Greens running neck and neck in the polls.

Housing affordability and rising rents are dominating the campaign, while security concerns have gained prominence following a recent attack on the city’s Pride celebrations.
