1994 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election

The 1994 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election was held on 16 October 1994 to elect the members of the 2nd Landtag of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The incumbent government was a coalition of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Free Democratic Party (FDP) led by Minister-President Berndt Seite. While the CDU remained the largest party in the Landtag, the FDP suffered a 1.7-point swing and lost all its seats. The CDU subsequently formed a grand coalition with the Social Democratic Party (SPD), and Seite continued in office.
