Styria chooses: All facts about the state election on November 24th
On November 24th, there is a significant choice in Styria: the citizens vote for their state parliament. This choice has attracted great attention because it takes place in a political climate that has changed significantly since the last election five years earlier.
Already in 2019, also on November 24th, the ÖVP was able to triumph with a clear victory under the leadership of Hermann Schützenhöfer, followed by the SPÖ and the FPÖ. The political landscape was strongly influenced and competitive by the Ibiza scandal of the FPÖ. But the current choice could develop completely different dynamics. A possible turn is emerged in surveys, with the view of a stronger position of the blue under the leadership of Mario Kunasek.
eligible Styrians
The polling stations open tomorrow morning at 7 a.m., with voting levy in the city of Graz until 4 p.m. In other regions, the election is interrupted from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. The preliminary results of the postal vote are counted for the first time directly at the municipal level, which should accelerate the entire counting process. The official end results can be expected for Monday, 9 a.m.
parties in the competition
nine parties are available. In addition to the six parties already represented in the state parliament - ÖVP, SPÖ, FPÖ, Greens, KPÖ and NEOS - the new parties KFG, MFG and DNA also compete in the constituencies around Graz. This could significantly influence the existing balance of power and cause new political alliances.
The preparations are in full swing and the election information is actively spread in the population. The use of a new tool called "Ivote" should help the voters to make a well -founded decision.
With this choice on such a significant date, the political future of Styria will be at stake. The outcome of the election could be pioneering for the coming years, especially in view of the latest political upheavals.
