Election day in Vorarlberg: Vote for the future!

On Sunday, the citizens of Vorarlberg have the opportunity to vote for the new state parliament. This election takes place only two weeks after the National Council elections and is crucial for the political landscape of the country. For the next five years, 271,882 voters of Vorarlberg are called for voters to participate in these important decisions. This year, nine lists will choose to choose, which offers voters a diverse selection.

The polling stations close at 1:00 p.m. and the first projections are provided by Foresight for the APA and ORF at 2:30 p.m. The final results, which also include most postal votes, will be published from 6:00 p.m. This time procedure shows how important the choice is for the population, since the results are made available quickly and transparently.

Review of the last choice

In the last state election in 2019, the ÖVP, led by Governor Markus Wallner, provided the strongest political force with 43.5 percent. The Greens took second place with 18.9 percent, while the FPÖ finished third with 13.9 percent. The SPÖ reached 9.5 percent, followed by the NEOS with 8.5 percent. Back then, smaller parties did not make it through the 5 percent hurdle, which shows how strong the dominant position of the larger parties is.

After the 2019 elections, the ÖVP and the Greens decided to continue their coalition, which was formed in 2014. This political decision has laid the basis for cooperation between the two parties, which could continue to be important in the next legislative period.

This choice decides how politics in Vorarlberg will continue and which topics will be on the agenda for the next legislative period. The Vorarlbergers are well advised to give their vote and thus actively participate in the political events.

The reporting on the state election is also accompanied by the ORF, which provides the viewers with current information and analyzes in order to convey a comprehensive picture of the events. Voters can experience various social currents and positions between the various optional lists and the previous results.
