The Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Landtag election on September 20, 2026, produced a Greens vote share of 5.7 percent in preliminary official results, matching the narrow band projected across multiple late polls that placed the party at or just above the 5 percent threshold. This outcome followed a modest decline from the 6.3 percent recorded in 2021, occurring amid an AfD surge to 38.2 percent, an SPD result of 35.5 percent, and the CDU falling to 4.9 percent. High turnout near 78 percent and stable regional support for the party's environmental and social positions sustained the share within the expected interval, positioning the Greens for potential inclusion in a prospective SPD-Left-Greens coalition while underscoring the challenges smaller parties face in eastern state contests.
