Chemnitzer Umland – Erzgebirgskreis II
Chemnitzer Umland – Erzgebirgskreis II is one of the 299 single member constituencies (German: Wahlkreis) used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of sixteen constituencies covering the state of Saxony, it contains parts of the Erzgebirgskreis, Mittelsachsen and Zwickau local government districts.[1] The constituency elects one representative under the mixed member proportional representation (MMP) system. Under the current constituency numbering system, it is designated as constituency 163.
The constituency was created for the 2009 election from parts of the abolished Chemnitzer Land – Stollberg and Döbeln – Mittweida – Meißen II constituencies.
