Dear Reader,

On Sunday, I will get to vote in a German election for the very first time. A ‘sleeper citizen’ up until 2019, I never got round to making use of my birth right as the son of generations of good Germans (don’t look to closely, I think we were actually Dutch) until Brexit came along.

Voting in Germany is an altogether different proposition to voting in the UK. There is so much choice!

Perhaps you are voting for the first time, too. Here are a few pointers.
