Current Composition
After the elections of 6 May 2012, the composition of the Landtag is as follows:
| Party | Seats |
|---|---|
| Christian Democratic Union (CDU) | 22 |
| Social Democratic Party (SPD) | 22 |
| Green Party (Die Grünen) | 10 |
| Free Democratic Party (FDP) | 6 |
| Piraten Partei | 6 |
| South Schleswig Voter Federation (SSW) | 3 |
Elections are conducted using a proportional representation system, with a minimum of 5% vote share to receive any seats. This is not the case for the South Schleswig Voter Federation, representing the Danish and Frisian minorities in Schleswig-Holstein and thus being exempt from the 5% rule.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or composition:
“You will belong to that minority which, according to current Washington doctrine, must be protected in its affluence lest its energy and initiative be impaired. Your position will be in contrast to that of the poor, to whom money, especially if it is from public sources, is held to be deeply damaging.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
