German parliamentary election: first democratic vote for refugees

More and more immigrants are allowed to vote in Germany. Among them are refugees who have since obtained German citizenship. Like Lobna Alhindi from Syria and Sameer Ibrahim from Iraq. They live in the district of Tübingen and work at tuenews INTERNATIONAL. They are allowed to cast their vote for the first time in the parliamentary election. What the elections and democracy mean to them is the subject of a film and an online article by the Südwestrundfunk (SWR) (in German):
