Anecdotal evidence of public media coverage & academic journal contributions in the field of political science give reason for examine more closely the relationship between the type of electoral mandate & committee membership. In general, the type of mandate & committee membership of German Bundestag members between 1949 & 2005 prove to be stable. Hardly any changes have occurred between the direct- & the list-track patterns of the German two-vote electoral system. Moreover, Bundestag members hardly change the type of committee on which they are members. This has led to more directly elected members of the Bundestag serving on the committees for agriculture, traffic & construction (called constituency committees in the political science literature) & to more list members of the Bundestag serving on the committees for health, defense, family & development, classified as party committees.
