SPÖ expects clear victory: This is what the 2025 vote is about!

The Vienna municipal council election 2025 is just around the corner, and current forecasts indicate a solid victory of the SPÖ. Experts expect the SPÖ, under the leadership of Mayor Michael Ludwig, to calculate about 38.9% of the vote . The FPÖ, which is expected to take second place, is likely to record a significant increase in votes according to [better world] (https://www.besensewelt.info/wien election) and thus almost triple the votes compared to the last election.

The election campaign is not led with the usual intensity. A “non-election campaign” has shaped the last few weeks, with the Lobau motorway subject, a central partisan topic, only receiving low public attention. In addition, the developments in the government process at the federal level draw media attention, which contributes to the general “election fatigue” in the population.

expected voter participation and voter structure

The turnout in the upcoming elections is expected to be low, with a result that could possibly be in the area of "a six before". However, the SPÖ could benefit from the voter structure: older voters over the age of 60 tends to make more election, which could be an advantage for the party. Security, a central topic in the election campaign, is addressed by various parties and is not monopolized.

Although Michael Ludwig is the dominant figure in the election campaign, the FPÖ top candidate Dominik Nepp could also mobilize. Karl Mahrer from the ÖVP, on the other hand, fights with legal problems when it comes to his election campaign. With the Greens and Neos it remains to be seen how the unknown of their top candidates will affect the yield yield. Forecasts indicate a possible continuation of the coalition between the SPÖ and NEOS, but this remains unstable.

Current surveys and election organization

Current surveys, such as the data recently published by APA, show the SPÖ with 38.9%, followed by the FPÖ with 21.7%. The Greens receive 12%, while the ÖVP comes to 11.2%. NEOS can hope for 9.3% while moving the KPÖ and Team HC Strache is almost impossible. Since the beginning of the year, the surveys have shown only small movements between one or two percentage points.

The election date for the state and municipal council elections in Vienna is April 27, 2025. Surveys and information on the election also offers [better world. This initiative comprises 1,500 links to various topics and supports citizens in their election decision.

The organizers would like to make sure that all voters are informed about the options. It should be noted that election cards up to 23. April can be requested and open the polling stations on the election Sunday of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. . In Vienna, 1.11 million Austrian citizens with the main residence have the right to vote, while 265,000 EU citizens are allowed to participate in the district representative elections.

The upcoming elections could thus have far -reaching consequences for the political landscape in Vienna and beyond, especially with regard to the coalition options and the general turnout among the Austrian citizens.
