433. For how many years is the state parliament (Landtag) in Saxony-Anhalt elected?

Answer options

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

Explanation

Under the state constitution and the State Electoral Act, the Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt is elected for a five-year term. This aligns with the practice in most Länder and implements the Basic Law’s requirement of periodic democratic elections (Article 28(1) GG). Early termination is possible only in narrowly defined constitutional circumstances (e.g., dissolution of the Landtag or failure to form a government). The five-year period balances governmental continuity with democratic accountability.
