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:
“Beneath the azure current floweth;
Above, the golden sunlight glows.
Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
As if the storms could give repose.”
—Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841)
“At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.”
