In just a few weeks, the political future of the Republic will be decided at the ballot box in Austria. 6,346,029 people will be able to cast their vote in the National Council election on September 29. 

Now that the electoral registers have been completed, the Ministry of the Interior published new provisional figures on behalf of the Federal Electoral Authority on Monday.

2053 people have been added since the first figures on those entitled to vote were presented at the end of July. This means there are around 51,000 fewer eligible voters than in the last National Council election in 2019.

Burgenland has the fewest votes
Previously, citizens were able to inspect the electoral registers and request the removal or inclusion of a person. Since then, the numbers have risen slightly in all federal states.

Lower Austria has more than one million eligible voters with 1,296,079, Vienna with 1,127,958 and Upper Austria with 1,097,763. 951,111 votes are up for grabs in Styria, 539,111 in Tyrol and 539,832 in Carinthia.832, in Carinthia 432,295 and in Salzburg 391,219. The fewest voters are in Vorarlberg with 276,034 and in Burgenland with 233,738. 62,651 of these voters are also resident abroad.

Only minor corrections
The final number of eligible voters will be known on September 27 - two days before the election. Until then, however, there may only be a limited number of changes, such as corrections to IT or spelling mistakes.
