Mayor-Stich election in Vorarlberg: It will be exciting in these cities!

Hard, Österreich - On March 29, 2025, Mayor's prison elections will take place in seven municipalities in Vorarlberg. According to vienna.at , a total of 112,058 voters are called up to give their vote. The cities in which the election is held are Dornbirn, Feldkirch, Lustenau, Hard, Götzis, Lochau and Nenzing.

The ÖVP is represented in all stitch elections. It could be particularly exciting in the Lake Constance communities of Hard and Lochau. In Hard, the former SPÖ state party chairman Martin Staudinger is fighting for his office. In Lochau, where Frank Matt was the first Green Mayor of Vorarlberg, a deselection could be imminent. Both mayors have been in office for five years.

competition and candidates

In Dornbirn, the candidates of the ÖVP and SPÖ face each other. In Feldkirch, Lustenau and Nenzing, ÖVP and FPÖ candidates also compete against each other. In Götzis, the ÖVP mayor wants to win against a candidate of a citizen list. The partly controversy, which resulted from the first ballot that took place two weeks ago, led to these stitch elections. The commitment of the voters will be particularly crucial in the next few hours.

The polling stations close at 12:00 or 1:00 p.m., the first results are expected for around 2:30 p.m. The stitch elections are necessary because no absolute majority was achieved in the first ballot.

background information on the election

Further information on the election and election data in general can be found in the Election database Austria . This database contains partial and overall results from various elections since 1945 and shows the mandate distributions of National Council elections, EU elections, federal presidential elections and state elections. It should be emphasized that the data has also included the results of state elections at the municipal level since the late 1980s.

like vorarlberg.orf.at , the turnout at the municipal level in older elections is sometimes inaccurate. This can be caused in particular by so -called election cards. The participants should also familiarize themselves with the historical contexts and the elections in recent years in order to understand the importance of this special runoff election.
