303. For how many years is the Landtag (state parliament) of Baden-Württemberg elected?

Answer options

1. 3
2. 4
3. 5
4. 6

Explanation

The Landtag of Baden‑Württemberg is elected for a five‑year legislative term; the duration is set by the state constitution and specified in the state electoral law. This design balances governmental stability with regular democratic accountability. Under Article 28(1) of the Basic Law, the Länder retain constitutional autonomy to set their legislative terms, and Baden‑Württemberg follows the common five‑year standard. Early termination of a term is permissible only under narrowly circumscribed constitutional conditions.
