Election results in Graz: Exciting hours until the first extrapolation

Election results in Graz: Exciting hours until the first extrapolation

Today Graz becomes the key town for the upcoming political developments in Styria. In the current choice, citizens are called to give up their vote. Particular attention is paid to the state capital, where around a third of all mandates are awarded. Preliminary results are only expected around 9 p.m., since the polling stations in Graz are open until 4 p.m., while many others have already closed.

The electoral authority announced that the results in Graz will flow later than in other places due to the late closing times of the polling stations. The first projections can be expected shortly after 4 p.m., but with a fluctuating agreement of up to two percentage points, which means that some voice shares can vary in the result.

election times in Styria

The polling stations in Styria typically closed between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. In Graz, on the other hand, the population has the longest time to vote, which is strategically important for the political actors. The late closure of the polling stations ensures that this city is still the focus of the election report.

the political starting point

A look at the last elections in 2019 shows the different distribution of votes:

  • ÖVP: 36.05 percent of the vote, 18 mandates
  • SPÖ: 23.02 percent, 12 mandates
  • FPÖ: 17.49 percent, 8 mandates
  • Greens: 12.08 percent, 6 mandates
  • KPÖ: 5.99 percent, 2 mandates
  • neos: 5.37 percent, 2 mandates

Compared to the past elections, it will be particularly exciting to see whether and how the available numbers will be changed by the electorate this year. It is predicted that the distribution of votes may be turned upside down, which could affect the political landscape in Styria.
