Election fever in Burgenland: High participation in the early election day!

In Burgenland, everything heads for the state election on January 19, 2025. Already on January 10, 2025, 34,267 voters had the opportunity to submit their voice as part of an early election day. This corresponds to a turnout of 13.68 percent and represents a remarkable increase compared to the last election 2020, where only 11.02 percent of the electorate took this option, such as burgenland.at reported . The municipalities of Badersdorf were particularly active with outstanding 40.96 percent and Heubraben with 30.80 percent turnout.

electoral process and polling stations

The regular voting is made on the election day, and each person entitled to vote can vote in his community, such as Wahl.bgld.gv.at describes in detail . There are numerous polling stations that are open on the election date. For the early election day, polling stations had to be available at least during the day from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Voters who will not be present on election day also have the option of applying for an election card. This must be available at the latest on January 17, 2025 to enable an postal voting.

Special regulations also apply to people with limited mobility. You can apply for an election card by January 17, 2025 and thus submit your vote to a so -called "flying electoral authority". A targeted system ensures that the votes of the previous year's elections can still be counted on January 19. A smooth electoral system is guaranteed, while the preparation for the choice is in full swing.
