The summarized election results of the districts in the constituency including the western areas of Eißendorf and Heimfeld, which are not part of the constituency, are therefore presented in the period from 1966 to 2004 (6th – 18th electoral period). For the years from 2008 the result of the state list, which is decisive for the majority in the citizenship, is given. Only those parties are listed that were able to collect more than five percent of the valid votes cast in at least one district of the constituency in the period shown. In total, the result of an election can therefore be less than 100 percent. All results are given in percent.
