333. For how many years is the Landtag of Brandenburg elected?

Answer options

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

Explanation

Under the Constitution of the State of Brandenburg, the Landtag’s electoral term is five years. Setting the term length lies within the Länder’s legislative competence; Article 28(1) of the Basic Law (homogeneity clause) binds them to republican, democratic, and rule-of-law principles but does not prescribe a specific duration. Early termination is constitutionally permitted only in narrowly defined cases (e.g., dissolution of the Landtag and new elections). A five-year term aligns with the practice in most Länder and contrasts with the Bundestag’s four-year cycle.
