The state is headed by a Minister-President elected by the Landtag. Bavaria’s parliamentary system centers on the Landtag, one of Europe’s oldest parliaments with roots dating to 1818. The current Landtag comprises 203 representatives from five parties elected through mixed-member proportional representation. At the federal level, Bavaria holds six votes in the Bundesrat (Federal Council) and elects representatives to the Bundestag, Germany’s federal parliament, alongside other German states.
