The Brunswick State Electoral Association (German: Braunschweigischer Landeswahlverband, BLWV) was a regional electoral alliance active between 1918 and 1922 in the Free State of Brunswick during the Weimar Republic.^[1]

History

The Association was founded in 1918 by August Hampe [de] as an alliance of conservative bourgeois parties, consisting of the German People's Party (DVP), the German National People's Party (DNVP) and the Welf–oriented Brunswick Lower–Saxon Party (Braunschweigisch-Niedersächsische Partei, BNP). The alliance contested the December 1918 Brunswick state election and finished second, receiving 26% of the vote and winning 16 seats in the 60-seat Landtag.^[2]

In the federal elections on 19 January 1919 the Association finished third in Brunswick with 23% of the vote. However, this only represented 0.2% of the national vote and the alliance won only one seat in the Weimar National Assembly, taken by Hampe.^[3]

This was followed by the 1920 Brunswick state election, in which the Association emerged as the largest faction, receiving 37% of the vote and winning 23 seats.^[4] In the next state election in 1922 the Association, now also including the Völkische Party, remained the largest, receiving 38% of the vote and retaining its 23 seats.^[5]

The Association continued to function as a parliamentary group in the Landtag until 23 May 1922, when it split into the two parliamentary groups, DVP–Wirtschaftsverband (Economic Union) and Bürgerliche Vereinigung (Civil Association).
