Braunschweig regional electoral association

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Braunschweig State Electoral Association was an electoral alliance of bourgeois and conservative parties that ran in the state elections in 1918, 1920 and 1922, as well as in the election for the German National Assembly in 1919 in the Free State of Braunschweig .

The Braunschweigische Landeswahlverband (LWV) was founded in 1918 as a list connection . It was a collection of civil, conservative, and national associations and parties.

In the election for the Braunschweig State Assembly on December 22, 1918, the LWV, consisting of the DVP , DNVP and the Welfisch-oriented Braunschweig-Lower Saxony Party (BNP), won 26.19% of the vote and 16 seats in parliament. About a year and a half later, in the election for the Braunschweig State Assembly on May 16, 1920, he stood in the same composition. This time he was able to improve his election result and achieved a share of the vote of 37.32% and thus 23 seats in parliament. In the election for the Braunschweig Landtag on January 22, 1922, he achieved 37.97% of the vote and again 23 seats in parliament , now consisting of DVP, DNVP, BNP and the Völkische .

In the election for the German National Assembly on January 19, 1919, the LWV, consisting of the DVP, DNVP, Economic Unit List and BNP, received 0.2% of the votes and one seat in parliament. This was occupied by the BNP politician August Hampe .

In all parliamentary elections, the LWV had parliamentary group status . During the 3rd electoral period (1922-1924) it split on May 23, 1922 into the parliamentary groups DVP and Business Association (DVP / WV) and Civil Association (BV).
