The Bremen state election, 1999, was conducted on June 6, 1999, to elect members to the Bürgerschaft of Bremen.
Issues and Campaign
Election System
The Bremen state elections have some differences from other German elections. The 80 seats elected from the city of Bremen and the 20 seats elected from the city of Bremerhaven are elected on the same day but with separate 5%-hurdles. So the DVU each took one seat from Bremerhaven, because of getting more than 5% in this city. The 80 MPs from Bremen are not only members of the state parliament, but are also the members of the city's parliament.
