Women powers in mayoral elections: 19 candidates in the race!

Ludesch, Österreich - On March 4, 2025, the municipal elections in Vorarlberg are just around the corner. The elections are scheduled for March 16, 2025, while a possible runoff election for the mayor's posts could take place on March 30, 2025. The state government has issued the regulation that also stipulated the decisive deadline on December 30, 2024, as reported on vorarlberg.at . This invited all people who were entitled to vote on March 16, 2009 or earlier and meet the necessary conditions for voting.

A total of 19 women compete in the mayoral direct election in various communities, which is a high and promising quota of women. The Freedom Party (FPÖ) has the largest number with six candidates, followed by the Greens with four, the ÖVP and NEOS with three as well as two independent and one candidate from the SPÖ. Particularly noteworthy is the pure list of women in Vandans, which is led by Nicole Ender-Jöchl. In the city of Bregenz, the reigning Vice Mayor Sandra Schoch goes into the race for the Greens, while in Wolfurt with Angelika Moosbrugger (ÖVP) and Sonja Bereuter (FPÖ) two women are also available, such as Katharina Wöß-Krall (Rankweil), Elisabeth Kuster (St. Gallenkirch), Angelika Moosbrugger (Wolfurt)

The interest in the elections is also evident in the number of votes awarded. Each voter has the opportunity to use his voice intelligently by crossing both parties and specific candidates on the ballot. This will be clearly communicated to the voters from December 30, 2024 if the official election information is sent. The tension and anticipation of the choice are clearly noticeable, and it will be shown how the electorate will decide.
