A parliamentary term is the period for which the legislature is elected.
In a state election, eligible voters decide the composition of the state parliament. Baden-Württemberg normally follows a five-year cycle. For this question, connect this particular parliament with the number 5.
The official election overview gives 30 April 2031 as the regular end of the term of the parliament elected on 8 March 2026. This also shows that election day and the start or end of a parliamentary term are not necessarily the same calendar date.
The other three answers
The other three numbers do not describe this Landtag’s regular term.
3
Three years is too short. Baden-Württemberg’s constitution specifies five years, not three.
4
Four years is also incorrect here. Do not transfer a familiar term from another parliament to Baden-Württemberg’s Landtag without checking.
6
Six years would exceed the prescribed regular term. The correct connection is Baden-Württemberg’s Landtag: five years.
A regular term does not rule out an early election.
The state constitution allows early dissolution of the Landtag. “Five years” therefore does not mean that an earlier election is impossible in every circumstance. The question tests the regular rule, not every exceptional situation.
The head of government’s title, voters’ minimum age and the length of a parliamentary term answer different questions. Learn them separately even though all concern state politics.
Article 30 · Five years · State Constitution BW ↗Baden-Württemberg’s Landtag → normally five years.
Five is the length of the parliamentary term. Specific election dates are announced separately.
