The Brunswick State Electoral Association (German : Braunschweigischer Landeswahlverband, BLWV) was a regional electoral alliance active between 1918 and 1922 in the Free State of Brunswick during the Weimar Republic. [1]
The Association was founded in 1918 by August Hampe as an alliance of conservative bourgeois parties, consisting of the German People's Party (DVP), the German National People's Party (DNVP) and the Welf–oriented Brunswick Lower–Saxon Party (Braunschweigisch-Niedersächsische Partei, BNP). The alliance contested the December 1918 Brunswick state election and finished second, receiving 26% of the vote and winning 16 seats in the 60-seat Landtag. [2]
In the federal elections on 19 January 1919 the Association finished third in Brunswick with 23% of the vote. However, this only represented 0.2% of the national vote and the alliance won only one seat in the Weimar National Assembly, taken by Hampe. [3]
This was followed by the 1920 Brunswick state election, in which the Association emerged as the largest faction, receiving 37% of the vote and winning 23 seats. [4] In the next state election in 1922 the Association, now also including the Völkische Party, remained the largest, receiving 38% of the vote and retaining its 23 seats. [5]
The Association continued to function as a parliamentary group in the Landtag until 23 May 1922, when it split into the two parliamentary groups, DVP–Wirtschaftsverband (Economic Union) and Bürgerliche Vereinigung (Civil Association).
Wilhelm Marx was a German judge, politician and member of the Catholic Centre Party. During the Weimar Republic he was the chancellor of Germany twice, from 1923–1925 and 1926–1928, and served briefly as the minister president of Prussia in 1925. With a total of 3 years and 73 days, he was the longest-serving chancellor during the Weimar Republic.
The Bavarian People's Party was a Catholic political party in Bavaria during the Weimar Republic. After the collapse of the German Empire in 1918, it split away from the national-level Catholic Centre Party and formed the BVP in order to pursue a more conservative and particularist Bavarian course. It consistently had more seats in the Bavarian state parliament than any other party and provided all Bavarian minister presidents from 1920 on. In the national Reichstag it remained a minor player with only about three percent of total votes in all elections. The BVP disbanded shortly after the Nazi seizure of power in early 1933.
The Landtag of Saxony, also known in English as the Saxon State Parliament, is the legislature of the Free State of Saxony, one of Germany's sixteen states.

The Landtag has existed in various forms since 1831, but the current body was established during German reunification in 1990. The Landtag is directly elected and has a term of five years.
