Just ahead of the ÖVP in first place in the EU elections in Austria was the FPÖ under top candidate Harald Vilimsky. It remained exciting until late Sunday evening. A provisional result has now also been determined for Tyrol. In the "Holy Land", the Black Party is in first place - with heavy losses.

Around 540,000 Tyroleans were called to vote in the EU elections on Sunday. The state published the results shortly after 11 pm. 249,790 people went to the ballot box. The voter turnout was therefore 46.17 percent. In the last EU elections in 2019, 53.24% went to the polling station or cast their vote by post.
