Election results
Elections are defined as general, direct, free, equal and secret. They are conducted using a system similar to the one used every Bundestag election. There are two votes, first for a candidate in the single-member district and the second for a party. 36 seats are distributed by first past the post system in districts and remaining 35 seats are distributed using Hare-Niemeyer method based on the result of the second voting.
Furthermore, every seat received in the first voting means one seat less in the second one. The second voting is conducted using a proportional representation system, with an electoral threshold of 5%. The last election was held in 2021. Recent elections were held in 2016, 2011 and 2006.
Landtag Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (since 1990)
After the reunification of Germany on 3 October 1990 and the following re-establishment of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the first state election took place on 14 October 1990. The Landtag of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern constituted itself for the first time on 26 October 1990, twelve days after the first state election and 23 days after the reunification of Germany.
1st electoral term (1990–1994)
The first state election of the newly formed state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern took place on 14 October 1990.
The first state government was a coalition of CDU and FDP led by Alfred Gomolka. It was initially tolerated as a minority government by a non-attached former SPD-MP. The government was able to rely on its own majority when this MP joined the coalition.[2] In 1992, there was a discord after Gomolka dismissed his justice minister Ulrich Born on charges of "disloyalty".".[3] The CDU parliamentary group then withdrew its confidence in him. Gomolka resigned on 15 March 1992 also because of the shipyard crisis. He had been the only one to oppose the sale of the East German shipyards to their West German competitors. On 19 March 1992, Berndt Seite (CDU) succeeded him as Minister President.[4]
2nd electoral term (1994–1998)

The election for the third Landtag on 27 September 1998 resulted in the following:
The SPD won the election and was the strongest party for the first time since 1990. As a result, Harald Ringstorff, former Minister of Economy and European Union Affairs and current head of the SPD parliamentary group, was elected as Minister-President. He formed the first SPD-PDS coalition in Germany.
4th electoral term (2002–2006)
The election for the fourth Landtag was on 22 September 2002.
With a strong increase in votes for the SPD, the coalition under Minister President Ringstorff could be continued despite heavy losses on the part of the PDS. The CDU remained in opposition.

The legislative competence of the Landtag lies mainly in the following areas:
adoption of the (state) budget law (art. 61ff Constitution of MV), so-called budget law
municipal law
cultural law, including school, broadcasting, monument protection and state-church law
state organization law, including electoral law, parliamentary law, constitutional jurisdiction, court of audit

right of assembly
higher education law with the exception of university admissions and degrees
store closing laws
salaries, pensions and career law for state civil servants and judges
hunting law
nature conservation and landscape management
Legislative procedure
Bills may be introduced into the Landtag in three different ways, (Art. 55 (1) Constitution MV):
by the state government
from the midst of the Landtag - by a parliamentary group or by a number of Members at least equal to the parliamentary group strength
directly from the people (people's initiative, people's petition, and people's referendum) - with the exception of budget laws, tax laws and salary laws (cf. Art. 60 Para. 2 Sentence 1 of the Constitution of the Land of MV).
Legislative initiatives from the people must be supported by at least 15,000 (people's initiative) or 120,000 eligible voters (people's petition). A bill is adopted by referendum if the majority of those voting, but at least one-third of those eligible to vote, have approved it.
Bills are debated at least twice in the Landtag (first and second reading). In the first reading (basic discussion), the general principles of the bill are discussed. At the end of the first reading, the plenum usually refers the bill to the relevant technical committees of the Landtag, with one committee being designated as the so-called committee in charge. Within der framework of the committee meetings, the committee in charge often invites experts to public hearings. As a result of the committee deliberations, the committee in charge submits a resolution recommendation to the Landtag. In the second reading of the bill (individual deliberation), the provisions of the bill are deliberated and voted on individually. Finally, the bill is voted on as a whole (final vote). The President of the Landtag then forwards the resolutions to the State Government. Together with the competent minister, the Minister President signs the constitutionally achieved law and arranges for the promulgation in the Gazette of Law and Ordinance of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Election of the Minister President
The Landtag Mecklenburg-Vorpommern elects the Minister President by a majority of its Members in a secret ballot. The Minister President appoints and dismisses the ministers.
Upon assuming office the Minister President and the ministers take the following oath before the Landtag: "I swear that I will devote my strength to the people and the country, uphold and defend the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany and the Constitution of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as well as the laws, fulfil my duties conscientiously, and do justice to everyone". The oath may be concluded with the religious affirmation "So help me God".
Control of the state government
The state parliament has a far-reaching right to ask questions and to receive information of the state government. At the same time, the state government has a comprehensive duty to provide information to the Landtag (Articles 40 and 39 of the Constitution of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).
In addition, the Landtag may set up committees of inquiry with extensive rights to clarify facts in the public interest. In order to clarify facts in the public interest, the Landtag has the right, and at the request of a quarter of its Members the duty, to set up a parliamentary committee of inquiry (Article 34 of the Constitution of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).[13] In the committee of inquiry, the parliamentary groups are each represented by at least one Member. Beyond that, the seats are distributed according to the strength ratio of the parliamentary groups in order to ensure that the majority ratios in the committee of inquiry correspond to those in the state parliament.
Citizens may at any time address suggestions, requests and complaints to the Landtag or its Petitions Committee (Article 35 of the Constitution of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). In addition, the state parliament elects an ombudsman for a period of six years. The ombudsman supports citizens in safeguarding their rights vis-à-vis the state government and the public administration. He also advises and assists in social matters. The ombudsman is independent in the exercise of his office and bound only by the law.

Youth in Parliament
"Youth in Parliament" is a cooperation project of the Landtag and the Landesjugendring (State Youth Ring) Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and takes place every one and a half years. With this project, the Landtag and the Landesjugendring strive to create proximity between politics and youth and want to promote political education in the place of work of the Members of Parliament. In workshops and communication rounds, the young people develop own positions on topics such as leisure, environment, education or youth association work. Around 100 young people between 15 and 25 from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern can take part in the project. In 2011, after the elections to the sixth Landtag, the follow-up project "Youth aks questions" took place as an opportunity for dialogue between young people and the Members of Parliament of the new electoral term.[28][29]

Official seat
From grand ducal residence to parliamentary seat
For about 1000 years, the castle island has been the political centre of power of the country. The Slavic prince Niklot already had his main fortress here. The progenitor of the dukes and grand dukes of Mecklenburg is commemorated by a monumental equestrian statue above the main portal. In the course of the historic rebuilding and reconstruction from 1843 - 1857, the castle was created in its present form. After the revolution of 1918, the castle became state property. As part of the "Residence Ensemble Schwerin - Cultural Landscape of the Romantic Historicism," the very well preserved Castle Schwerin is a German candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status.
Between 1948 and 1952, the then state parliament of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern met here.
After the dissolution of the states on the territory of the GDR, Schwerin Castle became the seat of the district parliament of the Schwerin district.
After the constituent sitting on 26 October 1990, the parliament chose Schwerin Castle as the seat of the Landtag Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Parliamentary seat from 1990
Restoration of the castle and use of the interior rooms
The restoration works on Schwerin Castle began in the 1970s and were intensified from 1990 when the state parliament moved into the castle. The façades in particular were restored.
The work of the Landtag places special demands on the historic building. The rooms must be usable for the state parliament without damaging the monument. Installations and changes are usually carried out according to modern requirements, so that future generations can also read the changes in use. An example of this is the room of the Council of Elders. With the restoration of the column capitals, the stucco on the ceiling and the restoration of the valuable inlaid floor, this room was lavishly restored.
In addition to the parliamentary group rooms and deliberation rooms, there is an office for all MPs. Most parliamentarians share an office with a colleague.
In addition to Schwerin Castle, the Landtag uses additional buildings in Schwerin for the offices of the administration of the Landtag, the Land Ombudsman and the State Commissioner for Data Protection.
New plenary hall
Reconstruction
The new plenary hall is located on the site of the former Golden Hall, which covered an area of 283 square metres in the Castle Garden Wing. In the GDR, the castle was the seat of a pedagogical school for nursery school teachers, and the hall was largely unused.[32]
A total of 26 million euros of investment was budgeted for the castle garden wing, seven million of which for the plenary hall. Ten million euros were planned for repairing the late effects of the castle fire in 1913 and the renovation of the castle garden wing as a whole. Four million euros have been earmarked for further renovation work, such as converting the old plenary hall into conference rooms, and a further 4.3 million euros will serve as a buffer for unforeseeable costs.
The conversion according to the plans of the architect's office Dannheimer & Joos was finally completed in September 2017.[33][34][35]
Time and cost increases
On 30 June 2016, it was announced that the planned completion had been delayed by five months.The reason for the delay in construction was said to be the insolvency of a planning company involved in the construction.[36]
On 14 December 2016, it was informed that the construction costs for the conversion would increase from 27 million euros to an expected 30 million euros.[37]
Contributory factors to the cost increase was the construction boom with the associated rising prices as well as the old building fabric. Due to the cost increase, the conversion of the old plenary hall into a modern congress centre was abandoned.[37]
Inauguration of the new plenary hall
On 26 September 2017, the new plenary hall of the Landtag Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was inaugurated with a festive event after a five-year construction period. In addition to the Members of Parliament of the current electoral term, former Members of Parliament and State Ministers also attended.[38] The ceremonial speeches were held by the President of the German Bundestag, Norbert Lammert, the President of the Landtag, Sylvia Bretschneider, the former President of the Landtag, Rainer Prachtl, and the architect Tilman Joos. On 27 September 2017, the first plenary sitting of the Landtag was held in the new plenary hall.
