The last state election took place on 15 May 2022.

The party voted for receives less than 5% of the valid votes cast, and

when the voter's first vote is cast for a successful candidate who did not stand for election as a member of a party and is therefore not on a party list. These votes are disregarded because they would allow a voter both to elect a candidate directly and to vote for a separate group of politicians, effectively letting the voter elect more than one candidate.
