The Landtag of Saxony (German: Sächsischer Landtag), also known in English as the Saxon State Parliament, is the legislature of the Free State of Saxony, one of Germany's sixteen states.[1] It is responsible for legislation, control of the government, and electing some state officials.[2] The Landtag has existed in various forms since 1831, but the current body was established during German reunification in 1990.[3] The Landtag is directly elected and has a term of five years.[4]
