Wahlchaos in Austria: ÖVP dominates, green and SPÖ lose dramatic!

In the last elections in Austria, the results of the chamber elections in Vorarlberg, Tyrol and Salzburg show a clear trend: The business association dominated by the ÖVP has gained votes in several federal states, but also suffered significant losses in other regions. In Vorarlberg, the Vorarlberg economy list reached an impressive result of over 87 percent. In Tyrol, the Business Association came to 69.7 percent and still had to accept a decline in around ten percentage points. In Salzburg, the proportion fell to 58.2 percent, which corresponds to a loss of 12.9 percentage points. The Freedom Economy made remarkable gains in these elections and became a stronger alternative in several federal states, as the reports of vorarlberg.orf.at and tirol.orf.at prove.

comprehensive election analyzes and political landscape

The elections not only shape the immediate economic environment, but also show the changes in voting and political landscape in Austria. While the freedom economy has increased growth in many regions, the green economy shows decreasing results in most federal states. These shifts were also analyzed in detail in the reports of Salzburg.ORF.at, ooe.orf.at, and kaernten.orf.at. With regard to the turnout, this was low again in many areas with only 16 percent. Such trends illustrate the challenges in front of which the traditional parties are facing and raise questions about the future orientation of the electorate.
