453. For how many years is the Thuringian Landtag elected?

Answer options

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

Explanation

Under the Constitution of the Free State of Thuringia, the Landtag’s legislative period is five years; early termination is possible only in cases provided for by the state constitution, in particular through self-dissolution by a two-thirds majority. This fits within the federal architecture of the Basic Law (Article 28(1) GG), which mandates democratic electoral principles but leaves the Länder discretion over institutional design, including term length. Historically, a five-year term has become standard across most Länder, and Thuringia conforms to that national pattern.
