General

Legislative period versus electoral period

Compared to the term of the legislative period , the term of the electoral term is wider. While the legislative period describes the term of office of a parliament, the term electoral period also includes the periods when other representations or bodies such as B. a municipal council or a works council .

Election date versus term

A strict distinction must be made between the date of the election and the start of an election or legislative period. The legislative period is the period in which an elected parliament enacts laws (Latin "lex", plural "leges"). As a rule, the electoral period does not begin until after an election, not on the election day itself, on the day of the first, so-called constituent meeting . It usually ends with the meeting of a new parliament or body. However, special features apply depending on the country or body.

Practical significance of the electoral term

In addition to the primarily parliamentary documentation, the electoral term is of practical importance, for example for the coming into force of certain legal provisions. This can be regulated depending on the beginning of an electoral term.

For example, Article 7 of the law amending the Lower Saxony state electoral law, the Lower Saxony parliamentary law and the ministerial law of December 16, 2004 (Nds. GVBl. P. 626) reads as follows:

In force
(1) Article 1 on the day after its promulgation.
(2) Articles 2, 4, 5 and 6 shall enter into force on 1 January 2005.
(3) Article 3 shall enter into force at the beginning of the 16th electoral term .

Articles 2 and 3 of this Cover / Article Act change the Nds. Deputies Act: Article 2 as of January 1, 2005, Article 3, however, only at the beginning of the 16th electoral term of the Nds Landtag, i.e. February 26, 2008.

Federal Republic of Germany

Since 1976 the parliamentary term of the Bundestag begins with the first, namely constituent meeting of the newly elected parliament. The new Bundestag is convened by the previous Bundestag President. According to Article 39.1 sentence 2 of the Basic Law, the electoral period ends with the first meeting of the next Bundestag. So there is no so-called no parliamentary period.

In contrast to Art. 39 GG, Art. 36 of the Constitution of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia expressly stipulates the beginning of the new electoral period. This begins with the first session of the new state parliament. Since the state parliament according to 37 of the state constitution may not meet before the end of the electoral term of the last state parliament, the electoral term is in principle not variable. It ends with the expiry of the five-year period of Art. 34 Clause 1 of the Constitution.
