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 GrĂ¼nen) | 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.
