The Politics of Brandenburg takes place within a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic, where the Federal Government of Germany exercises sovereign rights with certain powers reserved to the states of Germany including Brandenburg. The four main parties are the centre-left Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), the populist left Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW), and the centre-right Christian Democratic Union.

Every five years, all Germans residing in the State over the age of 18 elect the members of the Landtag of Brandenburg. This regional parliament or legislature then elects the Minister-President and confirms the cabinet members.

The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) has been the biggest party in every election since 1990 Brandenburg state election.
