No, we don't get letters in the mail about elections. The options are news, radio, or look it up yourself outside of social media. With streaming so popular, people don't see near as many ads as they used to on their TV. That leaves social media as the biggest informer of upcoming elections and to hear about issues.

Omg. That's horrible, but now I understand the downvotes. I envy you not. I just read Tagesschau maybe once a week (not my only news source but still) and get a letter here when there's a vote.

You guys are really depending of Instagram and tiktok. Well I guess I live in a different world, as another user said.
