The Landtag (the state parliament) of Lower Saxony is elected every 5 years. Almost all German states have a 5-year term; only Bremen still has 4 years.
In Lower Saxony you may vote in Kommunalwahlen (local elections for municipality, town and district) from the age of 16. For Bundestag (federal parliament) elections you must be 18.
The state flag of Lower Saxony is black-red-gold like the federal flag, but with the state coat of arms (white horse on red) in the middle.
The Landeszentrale für politische Bildung (state agency for civic education) in Lower Saxony provides neutral, mostly free information about politics, e.g. brochures and events. The Ordnungsamt (public order office), consumer advice centre and churches have other tasks.
The state capital of Lower Saxony is Hannover. Braunschweig, Wolfsburg and Osnabrück are large cities in the state, but not the capital.
Lower Saxony lies in north-west Germany on the North Sea and borders the Netherlands. It is the second-largest state by area after Bavaria and surrounds the state of Bremen.
The head of government of Lower Saxony is called Ministerpräsident / Ministerpräsidentin (minister-president). A Bürgermeister (mayor) leads a town or municipality (and the city-states).
Foreign policy is the job of the federal government (Bund), so Lower Saxony has no foreign minister (Außenminister). Every state does have ministers of justice, finance and the interior.
