In Austria, people are voting in general elections. The frontrunner is conservative People's Party leader and current Foreign Minister, Sebastian Kurz, who is just 31. The elections come amid the fallout of the EU refugee crisis, which has led to the rise of right-wing parties in Austria and neighboring countries. Kurz has pledged a crackdown on refugees seeking to enter Europe.
