Session of the Vorarlberg Parliament

This list provides an overview of the members of the XXVIII. Vorarlberg Landtag in the legislative period from 2004 to 2009.

The 28th Vorarlberg Landtag was sworn in at the constituent session on September 20, 2004. The day before the election for the Vorarlberg state parliament took place (see also state election in Vorarlberg 2004 ).

Landtag Presidium

The Landtag Presidium is composed of the Landtag President and his two Vice-Presidents. Your task is to lead the sessions of the state parliament and to represent the Vorarlberg state parliament externally. In the 28th legislative period of the Vorarlberg Landtag, Gebhard Halder (ÖVP) was appointed President of the Landtag, Gabriele Nussbaumer as the first Vice-President and Bernadette Mennel as the second Vice-President.

The group chairmen of the four state parliament clubs also belong to the enlarged presidium. Together they form an advisory body that assists the President of the State Parliament in drawing up the agendas and determining the times of the meetings.

Officials / assessors

Every session of the state parliament is attended by two non-attached officials who monitor the orderly business of the Vorarlberg state parliament. The state parliament director is the secretary of each meeting and the state office director is entitled to participate as the highest-ranking official of the office of the Vorarlberg state government. Neither the state office director nor the state parliament director have a right to vote in the Vorarlberg state parliament. Johannes Müller had been appointed regional office director since 2003, while Peter Bußjäger held the office of regional parliament director during this legislative period.

In addition, all members of the Vorarlberg state government are entitled to participate, but not vote, in the sessions of the state parliament. This is to ensure that the executive body , which has to implement resolutions of the state parliament, is accountable to this legislative body .
