German election: Merkel casts vote as she seeks fourth term - NEWS TODAY

Germans are voting to choose a government, and a Chancellor, for the next four years.

The election underway in the EU's economic powerhouse could see incumbent Angela Merkel from the Christian Democratic Union win a fourth term in office -- or be ousted by her main rival Martin Schulz of the Social Democratic Party.
Merkel cast her vote in the eastern part of Berlin, the German capital, in the afternoon.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel leaves an election booth as she casts her vote in Berlin on Sunday.
Polling stations are open until 6 p.m. local time (12 p.m. ET), and the country's two state broadcasters are expected to release an exit poll shortly after voting ends.
"The voter turnout is quite high here," Markus Putzel, an election volunteer at a polling station in a school in Berlin's Mitte district, told CNN. "It's a bit like the German Bundesliga," he said, referring to the German soccer league. "You know that Bayern Munich will always be the champion, but it is exciting to see who will come second."
Turnout was robust despite rainy weather and the annual Berlin Marathon, which almost ground this part of the city to a halt in the morning.
