3. 5
4. 6

Explanation

The Landtag of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is elected for a five-year legislative term, as provided by the state constitution and the state electoral law. Periodic elections operationalize the democratic principle in Article 28(1) of the Basic Law, which binds the Länder, ensuring time-limited legitimacy and accountability. The specific term length is determined by Land law—now commonly five years across most Länder—and can end early only under narrowly circumscribed constitutional conditions.
