| | State Election, Lower Saxony, March 13, 1994 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | Less obvious, but perhaps more far-reaching, is that the election seems to have put an end to three trends of recent elections: voters' growing alienation from the major parties, declining voter participation, and increasing support for fringe, issue-driven "protest parties". |
 | | The election in Lower Saxony was not bereft of fringe-party voters, though the protest vote was considerably smaller than in other elections over the past two years. |
 | | In this context, asylum and immigration issues, the rallying points for the extreme-right bloc, seem to have lost their significance in Lower Saxony. |
