Dornbirn newly chooses: Mayor candidates discuss burning topics!

At a current election event in Dornbirn, the candidates for mayor are in the spotlight! On March 11, 2025, the citizens have the opportunity to discuss important topics in exchange with the political minds. The discussion takes place in the city center and can also be followed online via Live streams of the ORF, as vorarlberg.ORF.at reported.

The incumbent Mayor Andrea Kaufmann of the ÖVP will not compete again. Instead, the previously acting vice mayor Julian Fässler represents the ÖVP as a candidate for mayor. On the green side, Juliane Alton leads her list again, which has been committed to environmental and climate protection since 2015. The SPÖ is also represented by Markus Fäßler, who is responsible for infrastructure topics. Christoph Waibel from the FPÖ and Martina Hladik for the NEOS complete the list of applicant candidates, while Sascha Kulasevic leads the KPÖ.

Green suggestions and citizen participation

The Dornbirner Grünen, led by Juliane Alton, rely on a grassroots democratic choice of their top candidates and emphasize the importance of citizen participation. Your election program aims to increase the quality of life of the city. A central concern is the promotion of security in traffic, especially for pedestrians and cyclists, since the district has worrying statistics in terms of traffic accidents and deaths. These aspects were also emphasized by alton.at , where it is clear that the Greens strive to make the city more environmentally friendly and lively.

The discussion about the expansion of sales areas in the exhibition park is also discussed. The Greens reject the expansion to relieve the traffic situation and promote the attractiveness of the city center. Instead, you would like to focus on sustainable urban development, which focuses on the needs of all citizens. The upcoming elections in Dornbirn will show which political ideas and concepts will ultimately find the consent of the population.
